29869, possible reasons for oil leak
Posted by thisismygs, Aug-10-02 03:42 AM
i have one, and i posted a long time ago about it, but it then stopped. now, it's back again, and i can't find that original post. i'm leaking oil, and although i never really noticed an anti-freeze/coolant leak, the level is ALWAYS low. any ideas? saving up for a rebuild soon, so what else should i look to get/replace and so forth? thanks guys!

I had a leak from the oil pan gasket. I think it was from switching to Mobil 1 synthetic, since it definately gets into places conventional oil has only dreamed of! I just tightened down the bolts since they were pretty loose, and no problems yet.
