Thread: oil leak

just got back from moving the car, still no leak, took it out, beat on it it a little bit, (trans seems extra firm tonight) and still no leak. i dont get it.

and to boot the car feels like its running really good. maybe its just the cai i just put on. but its smooth sounding now.

Pull the passengerside wheel off and inspect. Likely the seal in the oil pressure sensor has gone south for the winter like all these Canadian geese that keep flying over.

my o/p sensor has been removed already, and has a brass plug in the hole to seal it off.

Check supercharger oil level.

thats on my list, i just got the call from my friend whos garage i use to work in, he forgot to leave the keys (dumb ass) so im checking the s/c , the power steering pump, and the timing cover, and i cant wait to see if it leaks this morning, very odd leak for sure.

and it was the accessory belt that was slinging the oil, not the s/c belt. at least thats the way it looks to be lined up with the stripe on my hood.

But..you said the sc was wet. So maybe.

Plus.. if your ps was low, it should make noise. Waht's left...coolant?

it was thick cold and yellowish colored, and sticky feeling,(did not stink like s/c oil, i changed it last year) the under side of the snout was wet, top of the timing cover, spray all over, and a 6 inch round puddle under the car. that was dripping at a good rate,( puddle dripped off the splash guard by the a/c, and to the ground) all this in 10 to 15 minutes while i warmed up the car, walking back to it i saw the leak. then it stopped. and with a flash light i could see oil misting in the air down by the balance'r and p/s pulley, like it was slinging it from the bottom and up.
