Hey guys. I am about to start tearing down my engine in a week or two and Im sure I will have many questions along the way so I thought I would start this thread and get it going.
My first step will be to try to locate where the oil leak actually is. Its a small leak, I would estimate no more than 5 drops or so per ride.
The drivers side of the engine appears clean and dry. I can visibly see oil build up on the passenger side all along the side of the lower intake manifold. There is also oil built up on the arm under the pulley. For the most part the oil I can see looks dry.
When I look under the car I can see oil all over the pan and in a couple other locations but I can not see where it may be coming from.
What I find odd is that I dont seem to see the oil leak until after I have driven and parked the car, then I will come back some time later and see the oil on the ground.
So I take this as my first clue and hope someone will have an idea about it.
