skeet Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I'd blame baccaruda. He messes everything up. I really have no clue what might cause this, I just can't miss a chance to pickon Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 check your PCV valve. If its bad, it could be stuck open and you'll be sucking oil into your intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 check your oil lines to the turbo... maybe you didnt tighten one properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 skeet's being mean again! check the oil return line under the turbo? maybe a clamp is loose. take your car to a carwash with HOT water and clean all that nast crap out of there, so you can see where it's coming from when it leaks.

electryc_monk Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Skeet, go to your room, no Internet for you tonight! (LOL) as for the oil leak, the DIY carwash place and spray the bejebus outta the engine bay is a wise choise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Dont let the people that run the carwash see you, they flipped on me when I sprayed the engine. They don't like oil washed into their drains or on their concrete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electryc_monk Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 thats pretty daggone hypocritical of them when the dial has a selector for "engine washing" they do have a sign up that says: Do not wash list: Livestock trailers open engine or transmission cases Tankers (inside the tank) Dumpbed trucks (the dumpbeds) cement mixers farm equipment construction buckets on heavy equipment asphault trucks or trailers chemical transports so yeah i use it for washing off the underside of the car reguallarly. That and on retunrs from the winter trips up north I bring ramps for washing the salt off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
