I was thinking this too, if it really is coming from the bottom of the car, thats about as low in the lubrication system as you can get.

i was going to rely on the gage, I mean I will stick with the dipstick. But dont want it to run out of oil... the thought kinda scares me.

Just anyways what causes this? wear and tear?

well you need to find out what it is before we can tell you what caused it.

digitalightkenz

what do you mean low lubrication?


Ken

Ps sorry for the short reply but im still at work.

*insert comical remark*....


j/k - he meant that it's the lowest point of the oil system in the car.

hey man you'll be ok to drive around short distances as long as you monitor the oil level. to and from work and around town is fine. just dont plan on any 100m trips anytime soon. i had the same problem with mine and it would leave around the same amount of an oil puddle.

i'm willing to be it's the oil cooler line also. its not hard to replace the lines or the cooler. if it was the omp lines you'd know and see them leaking and dripping from the motor.

Could be oil pan gasket, OMP, oil cooler lines, or just a missing o-ring gasket on the oil filter. Have you change your oil/filter lately? Clean up the engine then go from there. Changing the OMP line are harder then you think, your have to take off the whole throttle body along with gas/vacuum lines. So use that as a last resort!! I just did a TB swap, it was moderate but time consuming.

my oil gauge actually works, it does read above 30 PSI when i am stop and around 60 when I am driving, and when I am really driving or going at it it does read over 60. Anyways, I still havent had time to check on it. I checked the oil, but it still good, like it hasnt gone down, but I know its leaking though, cause I see it on the floor, I need to find time after work to check it out and get under the car.

But just anyways does ANYONE has any oil lines I can have? or buy?
if that is the case.

THank you guys for the help!!

Ken

Is your drain plug on tight?

junito1

true. ^^ ima gonna try and get that oil press+oil temp adaptor thing from racing beat now that u say that.

digitalightkenz

you mean that volt when you change the oil? well I am pretty sure its not leaking from there. but there is a wistleling sound sometimes when I drive. that is why I think it could be a hose, and therefore the oil lines, but I need to check it out, take pics of it, and post them .

Does anyone have oil cooler hoses or lines whatever the ****. who has them for sale around 90031, LA, CA I need them like right now. Please anyone around help me out.

Ken

johnmasters

+1 for it probably being the oil cooler lines. Same thing happened to me however instead of leaking from the connection to the cooler the oil was just seeping through the entire rotting hose. I drove it this way for over a month, probably not a good idea. Also, if it is the connection to the cooler you DO NOT want to overtighten it.

I realize cash is tight however this is enough of a PITA to fix that I believe you should not reuse someone elses lines.

Corksport has the best deal I found and they work great...

even a hair line crack in ur oil cooler will produce the leak u r talking about. it happened to me. id suggest inspecting the oil cooler when u replace the lines. my crack was on the inside of the threading all the way to where the crush washer mates the oil line and the cooler. this was for the top oil cooler line.

digitalightkenz

Yeah, I am not planning on fixing it. I am thinking of either getting new ones, heard that used ones are not worth it. So I will try to get steel braded lines from Lucky 7, I am trying to work a deal out right now. Yeah I think that even a hairline of a hole it will leak, sucks! I cant drive the car, I think this is how I blew up my old motor, cause of the oil leak.

Space dog, thank you for all your help bro, your the ****! Hey I still have your jackstands that I need to give back, I just remembered when I came back home, thanks for helping me out bro

Ken

spacedog

no prob,

yes! i need the jackstands back haha.

i was talking about a hair line crack in ur oil cooler not the lines. when you drop off the stands ill show you the old crack.

i pmed ya about another issue. check it out.

digitalightkenz

Dude, so sorry about the jackstands, just let me know when you need them back, I can come drop them off. I came back home and was like, wtf is this? OH MY FUCKEN DOG!! I STILL HAVE his jackstands.

Yeah the crack, I Cant really see it, but I know it is leaking from there, and I can see it leaking.

Yep about the issue, I will pm you bout it. I think mostlikely I will give you a nice discount on the thottle body. We will talk about this over pms.
