Hey Guys and Gals,
I am at wits end with an oil leak that has plagued my car for awhile now. Originally I thought it was the oil return line at the base of the turbo...it had a small drip leak that was coming around the bolts. I fixed this problem as the oil return line plate was warpped just the slightest amount, and so the problem was fixed. And yes, I did have the Balance Shaft delete done about 11 years ago, when the car had 100k on it...we are at 230k now.
2nd Culprit:
Valve cover...just replaced this two weeks ago, but not change.
The oil leak has grown from a little drip into loosing a quart every 100 miles of driving. The leak is coming off the passenger side of the car...can you point me in any other direction the leak can be coming from at this point in time before I send it into a shop to have them track the leak down?
Thanks,
John
