So i just got my supra 7m-gte 89, and it leaks oil and today I was driving it stopped at the gas station left and noticed I was leaking oil like no other! basically i rolled my car home :-( I was probably reving like 5 grand ish???? nothing toooo crazy. And my blow off valve hasn't come in yet... so I don't have one do you think that may be the reason why?:sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

I tried something else:
Well after I got off work I headed straight to auto zone to buy myself some of that stuff that makes your oil glow. I also bought some oil 10-w30, so i can run it through the car and find the leaks. Also went to home depot and bought a black light and got everything ready to go. Well I first turned on the car and she was idling at roughly a grand and five. I thought it was high but she was cold so whatever... i gave her a slight amount of throttle and then she went lower then died out. I figured she was cold after that I started her again let her warm up gave her a slight amount of through about 2 grand and she was fine idling at about a grand... That's about normal for what they should rev at right? So I didn't see oil bit of that glow on my engine or on the ground... I am kinda confused with what its doing or if its leaking something else? I know she needs new rings since she has some miles on her. Give me some advice here I am not totall sure what do to in this situation.

dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnit. Well yeah The guy I bought it from said it had some rod knock.... but all my supra buddies say the guy was crazy. Well should i degreese it and search for the oil leak or should I pull the whole engine out and look for the leak and check and see if I have rod knock... I am new the the supra game and need advice.. sorry for sounding like a complete moron. and no i don't have a stock flow off valve on it I am waiting for the flange and the hks ssq in the mail.

if your supra does have rod knock, quit driving it, its just going to make things worse.

and you could buy some oil dye and get a black light to see where it all likes to come from, if you cant see down in there and what not.

normally the quickest way, but when i leaked a bunch of oil i couldnt really get to it with a can of anything... so i just got a rag and some alcohol and cleaned it all up.

which side of the engine is the leak coming from? front or back?
