#37768, "Car leaking good amounts of oil - anyone else have this problem?"
Took my car in for an oil change a little while ago. They told me I was leaking oil, and at the time I was - little bits but was leakin. Came back after they put the dye in the oil and oil was on the bottom of my car. Nonetheless they made 2 conclussions 1) Headgasket or 2) Rear Engine Seal
Is there really any way to tell or do I have to take it to Satan and they gotta rip the engine apart to verify its gonna cost me a ton to get it fixed?
The oil is coming from the back of the engine - I think on passenegers side. Other then that - there is just oil everywhere!
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Are our cars prone to have rear engine seals going or maybe headgaskets going?? I only got 90,000 KM's on the car.....but then again - seems like the seals start to go around now.

mine had a couple of bolts back out of the oil pan. one night i noticed smoke rising from the hood, when i checked it out my flex pipe was saturated. new gasket and bolts problem solved.

Head gasket mine did. just like sean said the have a habbit of doing that. I heard to fit it that you have to put 3 gaskets on. That's just what a few mits. techs have told me

Yeah my car is leaking ALOT of oil already did the head gasket with no luck. I am going to do the oil pan gasket and wrap the oil press sender with some tape to see if that stops it, if not I am out of ideas

I say again... Do NOT use teflon tape. Use teflon paste or liquid gasket. teflon tape has been known to rip and send little pieces of tape through the oil galley and plug up some of the smaller holes, resulting in spun bearings. Teflon paste stays in liquid form and will not do this. Also, always apply the paste to male threads only.
B.T.W. I knew you werent gonna use duct tape hahahaha. That would be funny as hell though

ohh ok I read your first post wrong thanks probably just saved my ass I will be using the paste when I finaly get around to doing it. hmm maybe if I ever get a winter beater I will have to play with duct tape and make a video hehe.
Back to the topic 97_esi did the tell you what the cause of the oil leak was?

everytime that I pull my plugs to clean or replace them oil leaks down into the cylinders and I have started it back up and I rev it several times about 6000 rpm to clear it out,can't figure out what it is,thinkin it might be a valve cover gasket,I was told that they're bad about doing that too... peace out
