so i get home from work today walked in the house to eat which didnt take more than 30min then i walk out and i find this huge puddle of oil on the passenger side, so i popped the hood, checked the dip stick and not even a dab of oil on it. oil covered the whole wheel and part of my front bumper. drain plug is dry and with no evidence of it leaking from there. The passenger side oil cooler is soaked in oil. I cant jack up the car and find the leak myself cuz of my work schedule so ill have to wait till the weekend. Hoping some of you might have some ideas on what it can be

 

Looks like your oil cooler...or the lines in the passenger cooler area......

 

most likely rusted oil cooler lines, very common

 

That's what I was hoping it would be... How much do these lines cost? My warranty just expired so I'm pretty much stuck to fixing it myself

 

Yeah something let loose near the oil cooler.

 

check with Mazmart (a vendor here). They have good prices.

 

At least it did not happen when your driving, because your engine would be toast.

 

I'm guessing it did happen while I was driving cuz the oil puddle on the drive way doesn't look like more than 2 quarts. Is there like a temporary fix I can do in the meant time while get some cash to replace all the lines?

 

iirc there was some sort of recall or tsb on the oil cooler line fittings. they rust from snowy/salty areas

 

Happened to me on driver side, both lines can be purchased for like 300 from dealer, can't buy seperately. I went on ebay and bought a used oil cooler with lines for 100, pretty easy job.
