I will get pics friday.

i have oil that pools on the top left side of the houseing. right in front of the dip stick.
i couldnt find anything on the search so be gentle i am a noob.

 

Sounds like the "dowel pin leak". Search for that. The good news is it isn't normally fatal. You neeed to watch your oil level and it is a bit of a mess, though. The bad news is it requires tearing down the whole engine to fix (rebuild). I have heard that people have had some luck with stop leak type additives, though.

 

dont use lucas oil thats what made my small dowel pin leak turn into one big mess!

 

thanks guys. yea i am going to try to add something and i stay on top of the oil level.

 

Bardahl engine oil stop leak and smoke worked well for my dowel pin leak, went from drip drip drip to practically nothing.

WTF?!?!? I have been using the Lucas Oil Stabilizer the past two times in my last oil changes. And it actually has slowed down my dowel pin oil leak for me. I think it works great!!!!

 

i bought 2 bottles... never used them.. after driving my car around after sitting for 5 years the leak stopped itself

 

Since the omp lines are soooooooo small do I have to worry about cloging them if I use one of the "Stop Leak' products?

I too have the "Dreaded Dowel Pin Leak" I cant do a tear down till after I get married so thats a full year left.

i used lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer in my 7 and it brought my dowdle pin leak and behive oil cooler leak to a standstill

 

I agree with gsl-se addict & rOtAryIsbEttEr, I use Luca Oil stabilizer on every oil change or every other oil chance and it fix the problem on my old FB. Give that a shot but becareful I would recommend maybe 1 out of every other oil change in my opinion.
