Anyone ever had this? comes out of it somewhere right around the base where it connects to the block..........I have cleaned it up really clean and seems like its right there. Just curious if anyone has had this and what they did to fix/stop it............weld, silicone, what?
thanx for help fellas.............

Strange... I'd just clean it well and JB weld it. But that's a ghetto fix...

I've had this for years since I swapped out the bottom end. It sucks, doesn't it?

jdmturboitr

yea bro.............sux........entire car under the bottom black, full of oil. I dont like dirty cars bro......clean and LOW!!!!!!! haha

jdmturboitr

any particular jb weld I should get? Id rather it be stopped from leaking and look ghetto than look ghetto full of oil.......sometimes when I run it lil hard, when i come to a stop light or something youll see smoke coming from the bottom. Me no like...............

Just get standard, or maybe INDUSTRO JB WELD. They recommend standard to weld crack blocks and aluminum. We welded my evo's tranny that was cracked in a crash with standard JB. Its held up fine. It works up to 500 degrees so you'll be fine on the block. Just clean it well and take your time, it wont look that ghetto. Plus it's hard to see that part of the block with a turbo and manifold in front of it. Id much rather JB weld it than run around leaking oil...

When you clean it, use a torch to heat up the area to bring the oil out, then flush it away with a solvent like acetone, blow dry with compressed air. I would repeat this at least 3-4 times and also try to take a pick and roughen up the area where the two parts meet to help the epoxy grab the surface.

Kewl kewl thank you guys for the advice ..... I dnt have a torch, i have a heat gun??? Lol I'll try n clean it up as much as possible and it'll sit for at least 2 days before I turn it on again. Gonna do it Thursday night and let it dry till sunday mornin.

I would pull the pan, tap the dipstick out, clean everything up very well, put some liquid gasket on the dipstick and tap it back in, voila!!

I like this idea better with a dash of hondabond.

THEUSED

Hondabond is good stuff, i personally use right stuff, cause they sell it at napa lol, but yeah just about any liquid gasket will work besides that NASTY orange rtv!!

jdmturboitr

this sounds like a lotta work! lmao......... how much is the oil pan gasket? and how do you tap it in? I really dont want to take the down pipe and turbo and exhaust mani and all off....

jdmturboitr

Napa sells hondabond??? is that strong enough? what if I were to put hondabond AND jb weld on top of that?

blackeg

ive got this problem too and it pisses me off. i always hope i dont fail tech when they see oil on my motor...


ive tried liquid gasket and it didnt really work.

i used regular jb weld and it worked out better, but i still have some leaking. i wonder if you put and o ring between the block and the little flat flange on the bottom of the dipstick holder and press it on there real good it might fix itself... good luck!

jdmturboitr

Yea bro, I HATE oil leaks.....imma clean it up and sand it down a little tonyt, try the jb weld, let it set till sun and see what happens.....I'll post the outcome fo sho.....keep ideas comin please....thanx

Ok, another question....I put about have the tube of jb weld on it yesterday around 3pm. Haven't messed with it cuz the package says to let it sit for 15hrs to cure. I don't need to use my car till tomorow(longer den another 15hrs) should I put another coat of the jb weld on top of the 1???

jdmturboitr

Any 1?

isn't there a rubber o-ring on the bottom of it that u can replace?

If you dont need the car tomorrow, sure do it. Cant hurt. Dont do it and drive it though, let it sit

food for thought. you can just run with out any oil in the car.. wont leak anymore.

clean it all off and JB weld is prob best bet.

That's what I'm wondering.

jdmturboitr
