White93z34 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 The guy is leaking everything except for brake fluid at 50,000 KM, and I have yet to leak anything at 171,000 miles. I'd beg to differ. I think some engines are designed better than others in terms of reliability. I agree a motor swap is not the answer. I was just saying. wait wait wait...... let us examine a few things here, before you go blaming the engine for leaking powersteering or transmission fluid here. your car is from southern california, no rust whatso ever now synistershadows, I believe comes from Canada, and presumably his car has lived in Canada all its life, now we can assume that, rust reeks havoc on a cars undersides, which means lines that you may have never had fail ever, will commonly fail on rustblet cars. Just saying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying.... at 25k miles though? Seriously... 25k miles: leaking fluids 171k miles: no leaking fluids Can snow really excuse that?

I misread that he had 50km on his engine instead of that 3800 he was thinking of putting in. Not very good grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocno2454 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 stick with what you got. If has everyone says and it is just leaky lines it will be by far cheaper and easier. But I must agree the 3800 is one tough v6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
