50271, Major Oil leak! I need Help Posted by greenenvy95, Jun-10-03 02:40 PM
I 've got a major oil leak on the Drivers side of the car. I jacked the car up to see where it is comming from but i cant see anything. When I start the car the oil takes a few seconds then it starts pouring out. Where could it be comming from? Its not from the oil sender. I camt see the entire oil line to the turbo but from that i see its not coming from there. And it doesn't leak until i start the car. It also looks like its comming from the tranny but i just replaced the oil and the clutch fluid seems to be topped off.

If it is not comming from the head gasket where ensi coild it be comming from. I have a MLS head gasket that was just put on mabey 6 months ago. I have JE pistons and Crower rods and new crane springs and retainers. I have not had 1 oil leat since the rebuild. Ijust put the turbo on last week and have not driven it that much. It started maybe a week later i made a hard pull and parked the car a few mins later. while the turbo timer was running i get out and as i walk around the car i see oil running out.

Double check your oil feed line. Also check the T connections thoroughly. You really have to get under the car wiht a good light to find the cause. Are you sure its oil, and NOT tranny fliud? If your a M/T, the fluids are hard to tell apart when they leak..

I have checked the oil T and the sender. They are pretty much clean. I think it oil cause I had to fill up om oil just this afternoon when I went to start the car. Do you think the mechanic that replaced the headgasket messed somthing up? I have the HRC kit with the steel braided oil lines

bro did you just do an oil change and change the filter and then this happened...... if so check the filter... because i once had a filter with a double gasket that wasn't completly cut so it was a fat gasket half way cut so i had the same problem......
