Intake Oil Leak Revisisted
Intake Oil Leak Revisisted
I swear.. I don't care what anybody says...
After fixing this leak the car is completely different. Performance is 100% better and I'm not exagerating that. The idle is very smooth and there's no groggyness comming from the car. When I rev the engine up it definantly feels more spunky. I don't know what the heck that oil leak had been doing to my car... but what ever it was, it was hurting the performance somehting awful. Can't believe I went for so long with the perofrmance going down and checking this and that... and all the time it was the leak... I never knew (probably like allot of people on hear scratching thier heads when thier rides start acting wierd) and wouldn't have known till it got real severe and started leakinf down the sides of the heads and down and around the tranny... my Starter was soaked. I didn't catch it till it was real bad... for the most part I reccomend anyone that hasn't checked thier ride yet... just run your hand along the back of the intake and block and see if your fingers come up oily.
Anyway I'm glad that leak is taken care of for the moment... I finally got my car back.
On a side note... this is before I changed out the Coil that was acting up, and the Leak made that much of a difference after it was fixed.... friggin unbelievable....
