So heres the story, I was in my auto shop class and it was bring your car to school day, we jack this puppy up and BOOM, oil everywhere.. Its all over the bottom of the pan, the oil filter, the block)by where the dipstick goes in), and on the oil cooler lines. We looked for the point of leakage but couldnt find anything, We started the car to see if we could spot it in action but again Nothing. There was also dried oil (very old looking) seeping from the Valve cover gasket, idk what that is about. Any ideas or common problems this could be? I took this video while I could.. Thanks in advance

 

bump for help

 

..that looks like a good bit of oil..

Did you check your oil and are you low? Can you only see it when you've got the car jacked up or can you also see it when the car is sitting flat on the ground? What I mean by that is can you pop the hood and see it or do you have to look from underneath?

 

check the sending unit, up high under the intake manifold on the drivers side...its a pain in the *** to see and get too, but if it goes it can spray oil everywhere. Looks like you leak is high also as nothing down low is dry and as high up as you can see in the video is wet. Check it out. a cheap fix for a big problem. GL

 

Oil is low, Barely on the dipstick. Jacked up is the only time you can see all the oil. When you look from the hood, you can see dried up oil under the valve cover but it looks old maybe from an old leak..

 

I went and took another look it looks like it is concentrated on the timing belt side, I see NO oil on the tranny or near it, no oil on the alternator either so its lower. I have a video coming soon, (bad video you have been warned)

 

Upppppp

 

You need to clean all that oil off first. Add some oil back to proper levels and turn the motor over and start looking. You can use a dye with a black light as well, which has help me locate oil on many vehicles.

 

That's a lot of oil, find the leak. It's gotta come from somewhere

 

^^Another Post Count FAIL!!!

 

Also, we lifted it that night with the car running, no visible leaks..

 

Now that the cars been sitting a few days I can also tell you the leak only happens when the car is running and most likely under higher load

 

Update: cleaned up all the oil, drove around and lifted the car again, There is little oil coming out of the turbo inlet, and also oil coming from one of my oil cooler feed lines. Im starting to suspect that as the cause of all my oil loss. What do you guys think?

 

This is the plan that you need to go with. Removes all the guess work.
