Oil in a strange place...

Featured Replies

I have a '92 loyale fuel-injected 1.8. I replaced my drive belts this morning, and noticed that there was a descent amount of oil sitting around the base/crossmember area that the radiator is sitting on. Seems strange. I am aware of a small oil pan leak that I have, but it doesn't make sense that the miniscule amount of oil that IS leaking would make it all the way up there.

DO you have an automatic? it could be a leaking tranny fluid coolant line.

Bowerwash the area and see where its coming from.

No, manual. What is in that group of lines that runs at the base of the radiator, then?

Group?

Only thing that should be there that i can think of is the two radiator hoses, ans the AC lines. Unless you have a pinhole radiator leak im stumped.

Leaky power steering lines could be dumping ATF down there. Either that or you could have a massive oil leak at the front of the engine, from the front main seal or cam seals.
