Hey guys i could have one of the strangest problems that you guys have ever heard on my itr. I Just installed a jrsc 12 pound pulley on my itr and was underneath my car the other day changing the wide band sensor cause it was shot. When i was underneathe the car i noticed small drips of coolant in numerous spots of my motor. Concenred about the leak i grabbed a shop light to take a better look under the car. What i noticed next was one of the most concerning things ive seen on my itr to date. I noticed that from my motor back there was oil almost on every single part of my car!(underneathe that is). My motor from the block up is clean no oil leaks or nothing! i was wondering if the coolant is from the water pump, but i have no idea where the oil came from! This car is raced and driven hard if that gives you any info. Please help!

 

Start by looking at the oil pressure sender. Have you modified the crankcase vent system in any way? Those are the two oil leak problems I've had with my car.

 

thanks. when you had these leaks was there an exesive amount of oil under the car and almost all the way to the back of the car? and why coolant?

 

If you have a pressurized oil leak you will have a LOT of oil, to the point of leaving a trail behind the car. Venting issues will puke out a lot of oil as well, but not as bad.

No idea about the coolant. If the problem started after you worked on the car, then go back and look closely at anything near what you worked on. Does the S.C. use engine oil or coolant. I dont know anything about them.

If you really can't figure it out, then do a dye test.

 

I had a whole lot of oil underneath my old Civic and it was from the main seal needing to be replaced.
