Losing a quart of oil every trip from....
ok on short runs ill lose very little but if I take the car for a 2 hour drive on the freeway, ill come back a quart of oil less. ive checked high and low, there is oil everywhere but the highest point seems to be around spark no7. i cleaned it all up and tried again.
Alot ot people say, it must be coming from the valve covers, i checked and its not. Could I lose that much oil from a valve stem seal? Someone shed some light on this problem please!!! |
anyone out there? forgot to mention, i dont have any smoke from exhaust but i did notice that when i accelerate the engine kinda clogs for a second before kicking in.

Clean the engine completely so you can see the leak.S100 is a good cleaner that won't hurt paint or bare aluminum,it's kinda expensive but it works really well.
http://www.s100.com/ After everything is clean and dry,use baby powder sprayed onto the suspect areas to highlight leaks.Use enough to cover everything in white and leaks will show up as a dark brown stain. Now it's time to fix the leaks. |
hmm
I have a a 3yr old so baby powder is plentifull...you think the baby powder will stick to the engine while driving 70mph??
