Octavarium454 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 OK, so I just rebuilt this car and for the first 1000 miles I had very few issues. However, the last two days it began leaving puddles of oil underneath the car. At first I thought it was coming out of the crank sensor as the motor was dry above that but after replacing it the engine still leaks, bad. My next guess is whatever sensor controls the low oil light as it was always on, even when the motor was topped off. Plus the owners manual said it shouldn't be on while the motor is running. So I'm thinking maybe the oil is leaking out of there? Any help is appreciated, I was thinking it might be the damn oil pump o ring thingy but wouldn't my heads also be soaked? Like I said the motor is dry in the front and the oil starts about 3 inches below the rear head and my low oil light sensor is effed up.

Andrew Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 the oil starts about 3 inches below the rear head sounds like the oil pump drive seal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 You say you rebuilt the engine? perchance did you make sure to replace that oil pump drive seal that independantfool mentioned? get a flashlight and you should be able to get a look at it under the throttle body. that could be the cause of your oil leak. also, random question... do you like "Dream Theater"??
