Leaking Oil..Options?
I just started seeing small oil marks on my driveway. What is the best way to find where the leak is from. Any suggestions?
|
anyone?
|
Steps
1- Get under your car 2- Wipe down all oil and grease with gereaser or solvent. 3- inspect main oil holding components, oil pan,transmission oil pan ,front and rear engine meet points, differential. 4- If you still cant find the leaks this is another alternative and works. Get baby powder and put all under your car. It will be easier to pin point where its coming from. NOTE- 99% its the oil pan, oil cooler lines, tranny seals, differential axles. |
follow the oil uphill, it like other substances flown down hill. try letting car run in a fresh spot. then look
|
Thanks guys! I will try this out as soon as this rain stops
|
my guess is its the oil cooler lines or the oil pan

If you clean the living shit out of it and make sure its clean and dry you can put cardboard under the car then let it run and figure out where exactly the drops are
1. One will have a very clean engine bay 2. One will find the leak 3. One will hopefully fix the leak |

The Goodrich brand of AN fittings is lower quality, cheaper and Made in CHINA! and I had to replace a set last year due to fitting wear. Would not hold a seal 100%. Since the individual fillings are each less than $50.00 they don't have to stamp Made by the Cheapest Method Possible Using Substandard Materials, as Quickly as Possible Without proper Quality Assurance. aka :biggrin:CHINA!:biggrin: The real deal Earl's last much longer, now I know! |
i have the corksport lines and i didnt need the an fittings
