i recently installed a turbo. before all this ther was a small bit of vapor coming from the back of the motor. the tuner told me that it started to slightly miss ;at idle and about 25 hundred rpm, when he was tuning it. he then told me that he could not get it to go away. when installing my o2, he noticed that there was oil all over the lower back end of my motor,half shaft, and axel. he said it was running good for him other than the miss though and that the leak and miss were probably related. i drove home (about 40 miles or so) that night and the miss seamed to get a little worse as i drove it regular more. boosted couple of times. drove fine. leak didnt seam to get worse at all. not much of anything on the cement. the next morning the smoke from the back of the motor didnt seam to be any worse. the miss was. i will add that when installing the turbo, it leaked a little coolant ; while the front was jacked up,from a un-tracable source. due to a brace or something under the firewall area. (i drive an eg coupe with a b16obd1).
A HEAD GASKET? WORSE? ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's usually blinker fluid from the back of the motor, be sure to change it out after buying a new reservoir and be ready for some real power

This thread does nothing without pics, anything that we would tell you to look for that's leaking without more info would be something that you can go see with your own eyes.

 

what a comedian!

 

To answer your PM, we would need pics of the leakage on the motor.

But first off, you need to clean it all up. Then let the car run on jackstands or something so you can watch for it.

It's also good to start off with letting us know what you've tried so far, how old everything is etc.

You can never give too much info, but it's very easy to give little or none at all. You just won't get the result your looking for without some effort on your end.

 

cool. everything is new as far as bolt ons go. the motor was built last spring. ill get pics and vids soon.

 

thought i would do some research first. then tear in.

Could be a number of things, oil pan gasket blowing out, pcv system leaking oil ( we had this with a customers car before ) . Do what Rota said.

if u have a cometic headgasket thats ur problem.

 

There are a million and one reasons why a car will miss, and an oil leak is generally not one of them. Unless that is if you have a shaft seal leak in the dist or you're getting oil down the spark plug tubes etc etc etc.

I'd start by pulling plugs, making sure they're not fouled out. Check cap/rotor, check spark plug wires to make sure they're not arcing. You know, the basics.
