Default might have to get rid of the GSR...

Well, bought the DC2 about 1-2 months ago, and since day one its been leaking oil...painting a pretty picture on my driveway...

so i brought it to acura, figured it was a simple pan gasket, which 300 dollars later it turned out to be...ok so they fixed it and i was on my way..

got home, same thing...im getting oil everywhere...i wipe it off, say **** it and just go on my way...

well its about a month later and the oil on the bottom of the pan and everywhere else is PISSING me off because it burns off and smells really bad..so i have an appointment at acura tomorrow...

tonight i get real bored and decide to use that dinky little honda jack to take a look for myself where the oil is coming from...i learn that underneath the oil filter there is a ledge on the block where oil is just sitting there chillin...and after getting underneath there is oil all over the pan, all over the CV boot, and many other places, i couldnt get the car up high enough to see clearly...so basically the problem was never fixed, theres oil everywhere and im pissed off...

so tomorrow if they cant fix the leak, im going to sell the car and look for another GSR...this is really throwing a wrench in my project because i was having my forged internals installed soon and soon after the turbo was going on..so we'll see what happens...

hmm sounded like something that happened to one car i was looking at. Did you check the oil filter, cam seal, umm i don't know where i could leak on the driver side so someone help him out on that.

Also tell acura that they fucked up, its still pissing out oil and they made you waste 300 bucks on a new oil pan.
