i have a leak!!!!

[juanito]

damb! my car is leaking oil and i dont know where si comming from, i've checked it two days in a row and i still cant figure out where is it from, bassically i start the car, drive it for some time, when i turn it off and check i see some drops still on the car, is not that much, is just like tiny drops, could it be that i just started using syntetic oil, cuz ive heard that once u start using syn. the car tends to start leaking or something like that, correct me if im wrong....
thanks

Check your Turbo Oil feed and drain lines

[juanito]

i did and they're all right, i didnt see any drops from there, well actually from the drain line theres a drop, but there is no way all of that is comming from there cus the drop from that drain is like only one, and im getting 5 or more from i dont know where

i need to take a leak

[shawn shawn]

switch back to regular. jk


could be anything though. Get a really good flashlight and snoop around some more.

[carlova78]

oh i have a mahazine that tells you how to search for leaks but dont remember which. dont you have a drifft event coming up?

[juanito]

yep

[hellfire]

What you need to do is pressure wash your bay. Or use degreaser, but pressure washing is 10x easier. Then, go on a drive, you will be able to pinpoint the leak very, very quickly.

Also, yes Synthetic has cleaning agents in it. Which cleans out all the shit that dino oil left gunked up after all these years. So now where there was a plugged leak, there is now a leaking... leak. LoL..

yeah i knew synthetic had some kinda stuff in it to wash out ure engine...
i had a leak and i put some of that cheap-o oil leak fix stuff and it fixed mine =D but idk ... i need to do an oil change soon haha

what all can get damaged by presurewashing the engine bay ?

[hellfire]

Nothing as long as you are careful. Watch out for wires and stuff. If you are anal, or not very good with aim, just undo the wiring harness and move it out of the way.

there is a leak and you cant find it..lol. chances are it seems like its coming from the oil pan coz its at the bottom and your pan looks a little wet, but then its not... hehe

chances are its you front main seal or rear main seal. its common. make sure you have oil in the mudahumper when driving always. and dont come to my house, i dont want to wash the drive way again.

good luck.

hey what did u use???

i wanna try it

[hellfire]

Don't try it.

Never use any additive in your oil. It will reduce the oils lubricating properties. You don't think the oil companies know how to produce a oil after all these years? NEVER, never ever, ever ever, use an oil additive. Unless your motor is a piece and you don't give a shit anyways.

:) i did
cuz it was freeee lol
i gotta oil change asap
monies monies
gas or oil...
gas to get places
oil = 3500 miles on synthetic... hmmm

and yeah oil additives just make your oil thicker and if you have a turbo dont do it ><

fix the leak
infact just do a mild rebuild of gaskets and seals n stuff

haha seal
the lil water animals :)
seal seal
thats a funny word

[hellfire]

It doesn't matter if it was free. Free to fuck up your motor. The oil that you purchase is made with certain ingredients, they are made to perform optimally. Don't you think that if Mobil 1 could be made better, they would add the ingredients, or change the design?

Yes, they would. Oil additives are dumb.
