Ok soo i was jacking up the car to check to see if i had any leaks present because ive been finding little droplets of oil on the driveway these past couple of weeks.
I had gotten my oil pump replaced under warranty @ 49K under warranty.
as i was jacking it up droplets fell!!! oil droplets..
Im wondering if its covered under warranty?? i purchased the extended warranty.. but here is the dilemma.. I installed my water, oil, egt, fuel press, boost, and AFR.
The only ones reading something are AFR,oil press, water temp, the others are just wired up. would they say anything about this? or should they be removed? i mean they arent any power givers they just read temperatures.

also the oil is under the water pump, oil pump, front off the oil pan, tons of seapage on the block right where the pan and block meet. Also oil on the crank sensor.

ive read and im starting to think this is the front main seal but im more than likely taking it in to the dealership to get checked out. Unfortunately everything is closed ont he weekends. Man this car sure does love oil leaks. Ive had nothing but oil leaks after 45K miles! maybe switching to a thicker oil???? porbably switching over to 15w-40 i am currently using 10w-30.

So my real question is would this be covered under warranty? i have 66K miles on the clock. one more thing.. the car has no power under 6.5K rpm.

 

Idk about warranty you'd have to read your extended warranty paperwork....as for gauges I don't see how they could say some gauges caused an oil leak so I"m guessing you're fine....

Oh and BTW y do you have a boost gauge on a N/A car? Just wondering

 

Oh because i want to go FI soon!!! lol im not a ricer by any means hahah

 

do u know where the leak came from ?

u might want to find out first.

 

well its not coming from the sandwich adapter.. thats for sure
i keep cleaning up down there and i dont see nothing it seems toi be splattering all under the water pump pulley, oil pump, even on the crank sensor under the crank pulley.

 

water pump pulley ? hmm ....

You might have a failed gasket ... not good.

If I were u, Im gonna strip it back to stock and bring it to dealership.

 

ok soo i just got done working on the car i jacked it up and inspected EVERYTHING! my findings were that oil AND green fluid is leaking.

-oil is also leaking where the motor mount meets the block I dont know if this is th oil pan leaking or not.
-Oil is also poolin right under the omp and some of the little bolts are also pooling with oil but not as much. also green like fluid that seems watered down kind of sorta like haudralic fluid clear greenish is leaking somewhere on the pump but i cant figure out from where. i will post pictures in a sec

 

Coolant?

 

no idea im not losing coolant MUCH i mean i dont ever top it offf.. I installed my water temp gauge like last week and i sealed it up very well..

 

 

I think i would double check your connections if you did your coolent temp last week. Just to make sure it was sealed up!

Its very easy to cause a little leak.

 

I agree with checking your connections.
Use your finger and wipe around each joint and feel for liquid.

 

yeah im gonna check the adaptor and see if any fluid is leaking from there. also the oil leak is bugging the hell out f me..

 

Seriously, do not boost that engine until you get all those issues fixed. Personally, I would return it back to stock and take it to the dealer. The no power under 6.5K doesn't sound good to me.

 

Yeah m not gonna be boosting it...

 

alright set up an appointments on friday to get the car checked out at the dealership.. hopefully i can get some good news and keep driving my renny.. i hope its not a major seal or a major leak. ill keep the thread posted on what happens

 

GL dude

 

Good luck, hopefully the dealer is helpful--after all, we have a 100K engine warranty.
