well to outline this problem, i have been having an oil leak that has just gotten worse in recent weeks. it is coming from the backside of the engine and drips on the the plastics and the flexpipe.
i am going to be doing an oil dye test tommorow to get more info. here is where the problem comes the engine is under warranty at a shop in philadelphia. the last time i had a problem, i had blown a head gasket and they said it was dude to my headers having gasket leak, which i later found out could not happen. it cost me $500 to fix. this oil problem from what i have been told, could most likely be the rear main seal, which is part of the rebuilt engine as i have assumed. there arent any items that i have added to the car that could effect this. i dont want to get screwed over and told that it was something that i put on to cause this. i just want to take it there and have them fix it (if it is the rear main seal or another engine component) this needs to be dealt with now so i really need your guys opinions asap thanks This post has been edited by Tigawoods: Jan 2, 2009 - 7:50 PM -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Id say you found the problem. Damn those cheap aftermarket gaskets. You figure they couldn't manage to mess up something made out of rubber, but they always find away. Aftermarket = junk. Edit: actually i bet you thats one of those cork or paper gaskets they love to use. turbo shocker sticker? fixed This post has been edited by lagos: Jan 2, 2009 - 8:50 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
