Oil Leak Issue with Pictures
Hi everyone, I just bought the car and it is loosing a lot of oil, around 1 quart every few days, its coming from the exhaust side of the engine, I had the engine bay cleaned to help track it down. From the research that I have done it should be oil cooler gasket, but based on these pics it might be more than that. What else can it be:












Does the car run like **** ? Best thing to do is to do a compression test ? Even if it checks out, it could still be a leaking head gasket but if it does come back bad you know that it is.
You have a ton leaking from the oil cooler ring, and it is probably getting slung around a bit, making a mess back there.
Probably a leak from the valve cover at the back corner, which leaks down and then spreads along flat surfaces i.e. the head gasket area.
Maybe also a leak from one or both cam seals on that side.
I would say do the oil cooler o-ring, and a valve cover gasket (properly torqued) and clean it again and see how it is.
