Oil Leak

My laser is leaking oil. It is leaking from somewhere on the t-belt side. I can not figure out where it is coming from it is all over everything, from the ps pump all the way down to thethe oil pan. I just turned back up my boost to 15psi and that is when got worse. It was only damp before now it is dripping a little when I park. Has anyone else had a leak in that area that covered everything? Any help woul be great.

Re: Oil Leak

Is it coming from the crack in the oil filter housing's hard line?

Re: Oil Leak

I had a leak just like that. If you have the time, tools and patience, replace your oil pump gasket, valve cover gasket, and re-do the RTV on your oil pan. I had a leak just like that, ice minion and I did those, and my leaks stopped.

Also, is it getting on your timing belt?

Re: Oil Leak

When I first bought my car oil was all over the front case, so I took the time and pulled it off and replaced all the seals on the front case including the front case gasket, its allot of work but all worth it!

Are you trying to tell me that you knew about this the whole time?!

Maybe next time I'll just call you or...learn not to buy cars from you!

Re: Oil Leak

I told you about that. It was welded up years ago. I'm sure Jess told you stories of it leaking oil everywhere. Anyway, I was going to call you when I first posted in here. When is too late to call?
