Who's car DOESN'T leak oil?
So does anyone's car here NOT leak oil? Seriously, I've been battling oil leaks since I got the car, and it STILL leaves an oil slick on my driveway that would make Exxon Valdez proud. I've done oil pan gasket(s), oil sender, filter O-rings, oil cooler and oil cooler hoses. Now it seems my purge valve is bad, forcing my car to "burp" oil from the filler cap all over the engine...Argh!

I've had 3 FC's. None of them leaked a drop, but they consumed an average amount.
My first FD leaked oil like a sieve until I had the rear main seal replaced and also used a ton of it
Currently I am on my second FD. 94 Black Touring with 69k on the clock. 8k on a new motor. Does not leak a drop. (Actually when I first got it, the oil sending switch had a minor leak, but was never enough to hit the ground.)

My car has no oil leaks what so ever. However it leaks tranny fluid. I hate that. I am gonna get a new gasket as soon as I find out why the engine is running alittle ruff. The gasket is broke in one spot so it drips fluid everywhere.

No oil leaks on driveways in 2 years, but I do see some oily like residue on some of the pipes/tubes around the engine (but I'm too dumb to know what/where/how).

if your car does leak oil, you answer yes.
If your car does not leak oil, you answer no.

My N/A doesn't leak a drip of oil and it has over 200k miles on the original engine.
I hope I can say the same about my 10AE in 2 weeks .. we shall see. I am putting the motor back in it on the 14th.

all I saw was the topic "Who's car DOESN'T leak oil?" and the first sentance "So does anyone's car here NOT leak oil?"
which would make "yes" mean it doesn't
I failed hooked on phonics.
