Leaks..Leaks...and More leaks!!

Ok lets hear it!! Lets hear your most pestering leaks...
Maybe we all can come together and fix these leaks once and for all..Please use pictures to best explain your point...thanks.

Here is my little devil.....







You see that hose looking loop? Really I think its the oil pressure line thingy ma bobber! Anyone have the proper term for it? You can see it dripping in the first Pic


Well it appears to be leaking right above that thing and trickling down......

EDIT 3-12-08

me and my friends have that throttle body leak pretty bad. We'll probably find a bunch of smaller leaks once we get the works seal installed.

The one where you have to replace those little o-rings on the plate?

I had to do mine, it was pretty easy

Do a Boost Leak test, to find out. 10 to 12 psi should tell the truth.

The oil pressure sender?

Take it out and wrap with sealant tape and reinstall.........see if the leak goes away. Probably wasn't installed correctly......is this for an aftermarket oil pressure gauge?

If that doesn't fix it - buy a new sender and install it.

If it's the one with two fittings, you have to seal both with tape. Ask me how I know.

Um you know mbc's leak? they have a little bleeder hole in them.......disconnect the line from the pressure source to the mbc and cap it off when doing your boost leak test, never test with the mbc hooked up.

You'll need to do an oil change. Drain, then remove the fittings. Clean the fittings of oil and rap it with sealent tape. Reinstall and fill with new oil.
