z34mightymachine Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I think have a very small leak of oil from the front of the engine. While the car is parked with the hood up I can see a little bit of smoke coming up from between the coils and the radiator fans. I'm wondering if its time to change my intake gaskets. If anybody else has any ideas please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxie500XL Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 ? It's a long way from the intake gaskets to the front exhaust manifold...assuming it's an LQ1, I'd be more suspicious of valve cover gaskets.

z34mightymachine Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks for your input. This is true I'm pretty sure its my valve cover gasket. This is the next thing to do on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurkey Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Smoke...or steam? I'd be suspicious of a tiny radiator leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z34mightymachine Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Found a vacuum leak for on of the lines by the battery. Also both oil cooler lines have a leak. I repaired the vacuum line. Next going to Napa this week to order both oil cooler lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34mightymachine Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Is it hard to change the oil cooler lines? Is there a write up on how to change them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
