Fluid Everywhere
 

okay.... I'm doing this from my iPhone so let me apologize in advance. I tried doing a search and didn't find anything. If anyone does just send me the link please. I have no acess to iternet where I am at so I did what I could. There seems to be oil all over my engine. More on the left side near the battery. It's on the alternator and a lot on the bottom. Took pictures will try to upload from my phone. Oil seems fine never got a low oil light or gauge never read low. Can anyone give me a hint to where to start looking? It dnt smell like oil but I can be wrong. Brake fluid is good. Hasn't changed. Noticed a little oil in the intake where the line from the oil fill cap goes to the intake. Car drives fine and doesn't feel any different however I put it up on ramps and I do not want to drive it until I insect everything. Again. Sorry, I'm doing this from my mobile and really need help. Thx.

The only way oil could be getting up there is if the crankcase gets pressurized and starts throwing oil out of the overflow tube, which somehow became disconnected from the intake. (learned this earlier today :) )

Or someone just poured oil everywhere.


Very good call on putting it up and not driving it till you find out what's going on. Don't want to lose your engine to lack of oil, or car to a fire, by driving it.

Which tube is that? I removed the one coming from the oil fill and installed a breather. Looked under and there seems to be oil all over around the oil pan. It doesn't smell like engine oil. It would be burning up and smell but doesn't.

is the breather filter soaked with oil?

I just installed it today. Haven't turned it on.... Also got a P2096 code n I cleaned my MAF sensor since there was slight oil in the intake.

Where is the OMP? Maybe thats leaking. What's the thing that's by where the coolant hoses attach and has 4 clear tubes coming from it..??

yes, that's the omp

anyway I can check that? Guessing I have to remove the battery.

That area seems to be more soaked than the other side. On top and underneath the chasis. However even the ignition coils have oil on them.
