    2G Timing Side Leak

    Here we go.I've had this car for about 8 months now. Always had an oil leak near the timing side of the motor. Timing belt drenched in oil, entire driver side covered, and I mean everything.After taking it out after being garaged for almost 6 months, it ran fine to work but broke down omw...
  2. 420A 420A burning oil

    My 1996 eclipse 420A is burning oil… big surprise. It’s got 126,000 miles I change the oil every 3000 miles. I don’t really have the money to pull the head, or do a rebuild. I’ve read some people use rotell while others are using 15w-50. I know thicker oils are just a band aid for burning oil...

    GVR-4 Will stop leak additives stop minor oil pan leak?

    I have a Galant 92' with a 228k mileage. I recently noticed a very minor oil leak, a 5 minute drive doesn't cause a leak but a 10 minute with constant traffic causes a tiny drop.I've asked my mechanic about replacing the gaskets but pulling the engine out costs about $200. So I was wondering...

    1G Leak around oil pan, likely sources?

    There's an oil (or possibly steering fluid) leak around the oil pan near the driver's side area. I'm not sure if it's the pan seal, oil cooler, pump or something else. I cleaned everything earlier this year and the car only has a few hundred miles on it since, so it's a fair-sized leak that I...

    2G Timing side oil leak

    Hey guys, I've got a pretty serious oil leak on the timing side of my engine. It looks like the previous owner of my car got rid of the balance shaft and did not plug the hole in the side of the block where the tension pull and the sprocket for the balance shaft were. I'm going to guess that's...

    2G Oil puking

    Swapped 4g63 for 4g63. Blew first one up like a dummy. Anyways oil is leaking like a mofo. I can't see where it is coming from and only got one lap in on my last autocross race. I just changed oil before the race and lost a good amount of it from that one lap. Anyone have any suggestions on...

    2G Oil leak behind power steering

    just bought this beauty not that long ago with expectations of fixing some oil leaks. This is the first one to address as it is the most mysterious to me. Seems to only leak with good oil pressure and seems to come from the area below the timing belt and behind the power steering pump. It’s got...

Before installing this kit i had...

    Oil Leaks... Again

    I've already fixed 5 oil leaks since I bought the car. Last week there was another spot in the driveway... I already replaced crankshaft seal, valve cover seal, camshaft position seal, oil filter, and a couple others I can't think of off the top of my head. I've tried degreasing and idling for...
