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.

if your car does leak oil, you answer yes.
If your car does not leak oil, you answer no.
Hooked on phonics worked for me!
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.

my T2 leaks a little bit. i just replaced a few gaskets so im not sure where. possibly the OMP but i did read something about the 89+ engines leaking from the front cover even with a good gasket so maybe thats where im leaking.

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.
