So, today, i took the celi to th mechanic. Ive had a oil leak.. need to know where its coming from. They hoist it up, n tell me it good be various things. Apperently they think its my head gasket...
 But it could be somthing as simple as a seal... i dont think it is though. They couldnt give me a straight answer, kind of annoying. I guess i cant really find out till rip the whole d*mn thing apart. The problem is $$$$$ this celi is starting to be a money pit.[/img]  [/img] [/img] [/img]

QUOTE (StylnPlane @ May 19, 2011 - 7:37 PM)  what do I do guys? Fix the problem...only for it to be wrong.. spend possible $1000 Or.. Do an engine swap?  Its not a head gasket. Those don't leak oil. Your best bet is to learn how to do the repair yourself. You can take pictures, ask questions and maybe even find a few people willing to help you learn how to fix your car. A swap wont help you either because A. most shops dont know how to do one, and B. they would charge you a lot more money than 1,000$. So basically learn to fix it yourself, and after a while you will have the confidence to even do your own swap! -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Find somebody knowledgeable with the 5S-FE and bribe them with a few beers to come help you, that's your best way forward. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
