this car is a nightmare i swear lol anyways after my second opti install its leaking around it, not coolant but oil. i know its not from the waterpump drive shaft because im running a electric waterpump and the timing cover is blocked off and the water pump has the brass seal. the motors new about 1800 miles and i cant believe this **** is leaking, any input on where i can start? thanks again guys and yes the opti was installed with both o ring seals and positioned correctly. oh yea and its a 95 and up style vented opti conversion

 

I don't understand. There is no oil in an opti to leak out.

The o-rings on the opti shaft are not oil seals. Perhaps the timing cover seal is leaking.

 

mines doing the same thing. I don't feel like trying to fix it and making things worse so I'm taking the "I don't give a ****" approach
maybe the crank seal?

 

oops lol i should have reworded it, even i know theres no oil in a optii, what i meant its leaking around it, is that seal easy to replace

 

Yeah, it's easy to replace, just a PITA to get to it. I just did mine last week.

 

Just take off the cover and replace the seal. Not hard it all.

-B

 

Or leave the timing cover on, and replace it... even easier..
