Hey guys, I wanted to ask you guys if you guys would know why my T2 would be leaking soo much oil. I know 7s burn oil but was I putting in a quart every week. I finally got under my car and checked it out. Its not my oil cooler cuz I just changed it last month. Checked the oil pan gasket last week and it was it either. So I wiped the whole underside of the car to see where the leak is coming from. Seems to be near the front of the car. Almost right on top of the front axles.

Any clues guys? Any of you had the same probs? She's sitting on jacks now and I don't want to drive her til she's fixed.

Two most likely culprits would be the oil metering pump and the oil filter pedestal.

 

Front axles???&nbsp The car has no front axles...

OMP or front cover or both, could be a oil line going into the turbo ? cracked/disconected a little?

 

Rod Millen might give you a different answer....

 

Its most likely your front cover gasket or front main seal.

Let me know.

 

my friend picked up a car with exactsame problem...all it is is the bolt in the main underive pulley has come loose and the oil leaks onto the pulley and just prays everywhere, it is a very easy fix, every mechanic my friend took it to said it was the oil pump, and it would be a forutne to fix...and all it was was that bolt....

 

Checked my car again and the oil leak is coming from somewhere in the front of the engine bay near the passenger side. Still not sure. What can it be?

is the oil seeping out or is under pressure and spraying everywhere?

 

Can you get a pic of it? A quart a week you said? When it is sitting does it still leak or only when being driven?

 

Its just seeping out... If I drive it, it runs out a lot and when it sits, it just slowly drips. I'll post picture later tonight.

there should be two small hoses that protected with some kind of fabric going into the block that should be right in the are your leaking...i would check those hoses and check the gasket f the peice they go into..
