Ok, i have been having a few drops of oil on the ground every morning, right under the oil filter housing, it looks like its a oil water mix? its too thin to be just oil. so my question is where can i buy a new oil filter housing or oil cooler or is there some alternative means of fixing it?
Thanks, Dustin.
 
If your replacing maybe try to find a air/oil cooler and ditch the water/oil one. Can usually find them cheap used.

Have you checked your coolant and oil to make sure their not mixing?

Wish you fun and luck:)

Well, i get alot of pure white smoke out the back right after WOT/boost and now at idle. so im guessing i have a HG failure, but idk how to cheak if it is mixing in the filterhousing/cooler?
 
Have you changed the valve seals? My old talon started doing the same after wot and then at idle also, friend suggested the valve seals and that fixed it, it was white smoke also
 
I am going to have the the head gasket and valve seals replaced, along with everthing else that needs it, its got 200k miles on it and i bet the stick HG and valve seals... better safe and do it all than sorry and not at all.
 
Here ya go! I'm not sure if it's cheaper but they specialize in our cars. That alone should make your decision! :)

Hmm, sounds pretty awesome. Just a point of reference, here is a site that shows a few times. I know it isn't complete since a couple of guys on here have times that aren't posted but it is a decent reference to see what guys setting records are doing/using. DsmTimes. You can sort and see to see different criteria as well. :thumb:

No problem, just helping out a fellow dsm'er and okie! You can always show her the site and try to get her to submit all the info to get her name on the list.
