[RESOLVED] Oil leak, from where??

[Budget Talon]

hey guys new to dsmtuners

just bought a used 90 talon tsi AWD last night...
moved the car out of my parking spot only to find 2-3 oil puddles pretty good sizes.
i looked under the car this morning to see where it was coming from to find that its coming near the Alternator...its only on the right side of the motor to be exact for all you.

anything there to be exact that i should check?? don't have time to drive it to my local auto shop yet.

thanks again

we cant see your engine through the internet so what you need to do is jack your car up and grab a flash light and look for oil leak. not rele that hard

I would start with the oil filter to oilfilter housing, then oil pressure sending unit.

and then end up with the oil cooler lines & fittings.

i'll be checking it hopfully this friday. its hard to get around to taking a good look during the day because i work 2 jobs but im completly off friday and should be able to take it to my local auto shop.

sorry about not providing pics for you to help figure it out. i'll definitly need to jack the car in the air.

Valve cover gasket . Camshaft seals . Seal on dipstick .

Power steering pump, front main, oil pump housing, turbo drain, etc., etc.

I vote for the Turbo return line, dipstick, or oil filter housing. I would say those are the most common I've seen on these cars.

I SAY Turbo Oil return Line FLANGE at the Oil Pan - BUT... if it makes you feel any better I can EQUIVOCALLY VOUCH that it;s NOT leaking THRU the molecules of the Cast Iron Block... & welcome to DSM you poor Oil leak chasing bastard.

And your call sign is a oxymoron, There is no such thing as running a TALON or any other DSM on a BUDGET.

i say, the little rubber oil lines around the oil filter housing.

Check around the oil pan seal itself. :Tag youre it:

Those lines are coolant. Only the the 91> engines run a oil to water heat exchanger only the 90 has a oil to air oil cooler (no hoses)

you ARE right tho

i guess i'll call it a talon with my very limited "budget".

everything i make right now goes to maintenance. last thing i need is to be without a car right now...

and it WAS the oil filter, just couldnt see under the car at 12am in the morning....


time to fix!!

 

[eagletalonjohn]

its always is the stupid things that mess your day up. oil filter it is .

I think all of our DSM's start on a budget.
