ok so i've been reading and searching and i think my leak is a dowel pin leak or maybe a seal for the housings or something...not sure, but every day there is a pool of oil coming out of my engine filling up that little area on the front housings 12a mazda logo, i've cleaned it up and watch it come oozing out is there anysort of "quick fix" for this till i can afford a rebuild, or am i doomed, thanks for any help

Thats dowel pin leak... You can maybe try some Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer as a temporary fix, but the engine should be rebuilt/replaced.

Well I use some Lucas in my oil, mind you I do have my OMP blocked off meaning that it doesn't get burned in the engine... But like I said, its worth giving it a shot before having to replace your engine, what do you have to lose?

onslaught_81

not much i guess, i hope it running thru the omp won't mess stuff up too bad but yeah i think they sell it at kraigens so ill be down there tomorrow and see how it goes....fingers crossed

I am so far using the Lucas Oil Stabilizer 1 bottle along with the Castro 20-50w Oil and a K&N Oil filter. Did a oil change today and so far the car is runing nice. I haven't really notices my oil leak yet so tomorrow I will open her up in the freeway and see how much oil I leak.
