the goat Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 hey guys (purely gender neutral term), i have a 90 loyale wagon 4wd with 216,000 miles and it is the greatest car i have ever owned. the problem is that i have an oil leak. first, i am by no means mechanically enclined so i took the soob to a local mech. (they do work for the vehicles at the camp i work at). they said i had several leaks and replaced the valve cover gasket, crank seal, oil pan gasket and changed the timing belt. this cost me $500.00 and i still have an oil leak. it is not a large leak it is just annoying because it leaks down to my manifold cover and then smokes a great deal as it burns off. any other likely places the oil could be coming from? thanks for your help.

GLCraig Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 It sound like cam case o-rings. There is one thing you need to remember. You have an EA82 engine and they were prone to leaking on the assembly line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
