Nope this is at the front of the engine... Coated my K&N and everything on the passenger side of the engine. I did just have my CPS seal replaced. Now the car is playing houdini with the leak as its dry... I dont play with losing oil we all know how bad that is for our cars... The...

Well.... I have not been able to locate the 2.6 quart oil leak. I was leaving puddles everywhere and then got pissed and cleaned the whole front of the engine and now? Its clean, and the leak isnt happening. Im baffled. BUT I am also thinking that it only gets bad when I do extended...

I love the BIC downpipe, 3' catco cat and Tanabe exhaust... Drives the ricers nuts at the parts stores... Especially when baby blows by.. Now if she would stop bleeding all over the highway... V

Are you talking about on the turbo or on the downpipe? Please take the downpipe and elbow off as one peice. I lost my mind trying the seperate 'finger skin remover' technique. It takes patience to get the engine side bolts off. Its not that bad you just need to go slow V

I did warm it up and book down the highway... I was a bit nervous about going too far after dropping 2 quarts. The only major change in the past 3 weeks was my CPS seal was replaced at the dealer under warranty... But the oil is up under my K&N filter, all over the power steering pump. and...

You know thats a possibility... What if it was installed wrong? It didnt leak until I did a 105 mile round trip. So far the mechanic is not inspiring a lot of confidence in me. But hey it was under warranty and they have to fix it. But 6$ a quart is expensive to bleed all over the ground V

If you bought a turbo elbow and downpipe assemble the elbow and downpipe and then bring it up through the bottom of the car. I did the top bolts first on the elbow and then I used a gear wrench (a must have for our cars) the gear wrench will make your life MUCH easier. I reserve a huge smack...

Well we sat at the car running for a while... I was 2 quarts low on oil... We only saw 2 drips... With the spray all over the passenger side it should have been flowing... So we drove it some and then parked it. No drips. So I simple greened the front of the engine compartment and hosed...

Oh and its in the front... Not the dipstick or return lines. V

I figured out what the odd noise was... Its oil on the passenger rotor. makes it a cool stopping sound. Tonight I will peep at the lines. What are the odds Advance carries what I need? I have had leaky main seals before... This is spectacular. Its shot all over everything on the passenger...

Well most of the oil is on the passenger side even underneath. It looks and feels like oil. Its black though. Im going to do a dump and see what the oil looks like in the engine. Wouldnt my timing belt be coated if the front main was leaking? Im thinking its a line now too as there is a...

Where are the oil cooler lines? I need to check those when I get home. God I hope its just a stupid line... V

Hey all.... I had a surprise tonight... I seem to have sprung a mighty leak on the passenger side of the engine. I am hoping its not the front seal but its all over the power steering pump, resivoir (sp) and fender. Its not on the battery or anything on the drivers side... I also hear an...

My guy was better.. I was looking for a spare turbo... Saw a 'rebuilt' ct26 on ebay and emailed the guy to see about it... Price suddenly went from 200 to 500$ I see his turbo or maybe he has more all the time... Low price for the bidding but if you get interested the price changes. (the...

Man I could have hooked you up... I have an extra one here in va and it could have shipped in an envelope almost.. V

In college I worked in a research lab. We tested a lot of additives for government regs... MMT was one that we dealt with.. There was the oil testing that had some cool results: Mobil 1 was our benchmark. It ran awesome under HARD load conditions for 12000 miles... Engine looked great and...

Hey THANKS! I appreciate the lookup. I was wondering what all went on with my car... I am teh second owner and the first just didnt maintain her right... But she is coming back fine. V

I had to play the 'its ok' game with my battery. After the 3rd time that it died and I had to jump it I told them either replace it or give me a porta-charger. They tried to blame my alternator BUT I have an external regulator that shows field and charge... I also have access to a snap-on...

YES! I have had issues with Optima batteries in several cars. The main issue is that the dropouts working at the auto parts stores dont know what the hell they are doing (thats why you have to bring your part with you as they will 80% of the time sell you the wrong part and convince you its the...

After listening to the SSQV on a bunch of cars including mine as I freaked the first time I heard the flutter not the chirp... Its normal. The ssv opens and closes really fast at low rpms and thats the flutter... Play Need for speed underground 2 with a built up supra and wonder "hey...
