ok so heres another oil leak thread this problems been buggin me for a while now. oil burst and leaks all over my engine at high rpms. ive changed the valve cover and gasket 3 times now, bought a new dipstick and PCV valve. re-checked my PCV valve its fine. the last machanic who worked on my car seemed to fix the problem but again at high rpms when my car starts goin all of a sudden again oil leaks. i dont know whats wrong with it this time but now the car is leaving tiny puddles under my car which its never done before even if i just start the car, warm it up and move a few feet and park there still drips of oil left over on the floor. i dont know whats wrong and im tired or having it leak.. im trying to find a dsm or turbo specialist around town but i cant find any so im screwed. i need help thanks
 
Where under the vehicle is it coming from when it drips? Check the oil filter gasket, and make sure the filter is tight. They have a way of working them self's loose. :dsm:
 
the second leak is coming from the same area where the oilfilter is but its dry, i think its dripping from the top since the other oil leak seems to be coming from there. every time i check under the hood after a leak the whole right side of the engine bay is covered in oil and the dipstick is popped out but i replaced it already and thats not the problem so still i dont know thx for the respose if theres ne thin esle ne one knows that can help please reply
 
if you cant really find the leak pressure wash the engine bay with some degreaser to clean all of the oil off and that may help you narrow down the area where the leak could be coming from, there is also a product made that you can add into your oil that will glow under a black light so that may help you as well. good luck man
