question... my car is hella leaking oil as if it was getting drained.. i checked the oil plug on the pan and thats not it.. checked everything else to see if it's loose or what.. oil filter, pressure switch, checked, cam seals, etc..
well i then decided to just change the oil and filter everything.. started the car back up and same thing.. so my question is.. what can it be back there that can make that big o oil flow..?? thanks

 

anybody?

 

Non turbo i'm assumming? It could be the oil pressure sensor in the back above the oil filter. ( at least that is where mine is) Maybe it came loose. Or worse case it could be the head gasket going. My head gasket went but the car wasn't over heating. And was leaking oil from the back of the block.

 

valve cover gasket/headgasket ect ect... If its that hard to trace the leak to the source clean it up really good and use some die.

 

crank main seal......i figured mine leaks from there....its all over my tranny and shift linkage. check there

 

clean it up really good and go from there

 

okay here we go... well, i cleaned it very well. and it only leaks when i start the car up. soo.... stupid as i am, i attempt something dumb. i got my bro to start the car up while i get down there. i see that it started coming out above from the oil filter. my bro has a prelude block laying around, so i check to see what can leak oil around there. only thing i saw was this hose that connected from the oil filter part to the block.. can that be it? is that a sorce of oil line? i was thinkin bout taking that off, but it's a mother to get them clamps off.. so now im thinking bout taking the manifold off or head.. which i wouldn't like to. any other suggestions? can it really be the head gasket? cause my car runs great still. no signs of a blown gasket. thanks for your help guys. keep them coming
