Oil Leak Found! I think..?!
Oil Leak Found! I think..?!
I am in the process of removing all the hoses/connectors in order to remove my engine for a buildup, however I have had an oil leak that I havent been able to track down for the longest time.
I decided to jack the car up today and clean the bottom of my car with some rags and see what I might be able to find.
After cleaning the oil pan and the tranny from oil/grime I was finally able to make out where the oil looks like it is coming from. It looks like where the oil pan bolts up to the tranny on the drivers side there is a slight oil leak. If I push on the "thin" metal that bolts to the tranny housing it will squish out oil. So I imagine at high rpm's the oil is just being forced out of the there. Im releived to finally find where that dang oil leak was coming from!
