Hey everyone was under the 03 today and there is oil all over the passenger side of the motor. It’s hard to tell where its coming from but it’s coming from above the oil cooler and filter. This looks bad.

 

Clean it, put dye in the oil, test drive and find the leak.

 

Take off your lower timing cover and check there

 

Blew out the oil filter o-ring maybe? Or the o-rings for the cooler. At the worst it could be spraying oil from the oil pump or oil pan.

 

^Thats what i would look at first. Seen the oil filter o-ring blown out many times.

 

My oil cooler lines are leaking at the housing causing a similar effect. Makes you think your oil pump, oil filter, oil pan gasket, and even drain plug all need replacing. Just clean it all off and monitor it to see where it originates from

 

Well most of the above dont sound too bad lol. I cleaned her up and drove for about 40 mins before droping the car off at spec ops for some exhaust work so i am hoping i get some good news today.

 

Hey Lance, thank you for chosing Spec-Ops Motorsports. We will be looking at your car in a few and let you know what is wrong with it. Btw, it was nice meeting you!

Just around the bottom end or at the top of the engine bay, too? Could have just blown the dipstick out and not noticed.

 

Looks like the case cover

 

That sucks! Never something easy.

 

Yeah i was trying to think positive but this one is going to suck.
