ok guys ive spent about 4k on this car the past 3 months from turbo to rear end, painting.. weight reduction.. gauges ect the works...hours and hours of labor and headache.. now i just refilled all the oils.. motor with 10 30 mobil 1 tranny with syncromesh, diff and t case with mobil 85 90w and all is good right? NOPE so im driving the car pretty hard enjoying my boost and new mods.. im happy as a lark.. well i start smelling all kinds of oil burning.. like a apartment building cookoff is going down... so i go home fast.. up on the ramps she goes.. and low and behold.. t case is leaking at the u joint, tranny is leaking from god knows were power steering is leaking like a jackass all over my NEW #$@#$ alt the turbo oil feed is leaking oil, the pressure fitting at the oil filter is just a dripin like a leaky faucet and the oil pan as well right above the turbo oil feed.. AND oil is once again leaking from the oil fill cap even after replaced it with TWO o rings and a new lid AND my GD valve cover is leaking all along the rim... Fu#$ this synthetic oils.. my car was fine and dandy before.. i also did a oil flush before i changed it and t case diff and tranny flush.. im about to toss a bomb into my jackass of a car and call it a nite...uggg it never ends.. fix 1 thing create 1000000000000000 more probs...

please tell me this is not going to be my future because i own a dsm..i just cant keep chucking case at this car and not even drive it... there has to be a point were there isnt anything left to fix.. maybe just upgrade.. ugg im at my wits end.. bruised and bleeding..(literaly) my car has one this round.. but ill be back

there has to be a point were you just drive these cars and just do rouitine checkups on them right? or is it a never ending fixalthon..

So you're upset because you did a poor job of sealing up your car?

I know the feeling, Mine has been sitting for almost 3 years I walk past it in the garage every day on my way to the cars I drive daily. This seems like a pretty rough talon tantrum, I hope they arent all that bad. I decided that my car was just lazy and prefers the comfort of a nice set of jack stands.

well i never had the tcase off or the drivelines just redone the oil so that started leaking on its own, the previous owner rebuilt the engine from bottom up so i didnt put on the oilpan, and it came with the oil pressure gauge installed.. so once again not me.. as well as the valvecover it was on the car when i got it.. i replaced the filler cap with a new one and to o rings and it stoped the leak for weeks untill i went to synthetic so i dont see how its my fault its leaking all over?? maybe the turbo feed seeing that is the ONLY thing i instaled thats leaking
