94 GT is leaking oil.
She only leaks when the engine is running. Otherwise, leak free. The leak is dripping from underneath the oil pan. Could be coming from anywhere near there. I'm lifting her up tomorrow to scope the situation. Has anyone had a similar problem? I've had leaks before..but never only while the car was running. Any theories on what it might be? -LD -------------------- My new, blue spark plug wires gave my Celica, roughly, 250 more horsepower..

could be a seal as well. clean it all down and pinpoint the leak. might be coming from behind the timing cover, if it is start from the top with the upper timing cover. cam seals will leak when the engine is running.

Right on. Thanks. I'm gonna get her off the ground tomorrow after I degrease her. I had a seal replaced on her some time ago..but I'm not paying anyone again. I've learned a lot since then. It's a pretty serious oil leak. Not a drip here and there, you know? -------------------- My new, blue spark plug wires gave my Celica, roughly, 250 more horsepower..
