A Little Rant

[LingLing]

Welllllllll. I got my laser running. She runs GREAT!!! I periodically check under the car where the leaks were before just to make sure. Well, the leaks I fixed are fine, but there's still wet oil!!! There's droplets hanging from my oil pan, and its on my exhaust....none of it's on my belts though, which is a good thing :o. but damn....frustration...This is my first DSM though, and I guess I should be getting used to stuff like this, from what i hear :p. Well thanks for listening to my rant. Sorry Mods and Admins if it's in the wrong place.

Just put OilDry in your 'mod list' like every one else w/ a dsm:

1991 Eclipse GSX 5-sp
buschur 3" exhaust
hallman mbc
s-afc
slowboy race fmic kit
5-gallons of OilDry
4 2-ton jackstands
cup-o-extra bolts (got everything back together, not sure where they go!)
always changed w/ 8 quarts Mobil1, 5 in the motor and 3 extra for 'top ups'
kyb agx w/ eibach springs
jumper cables
etc...

Could it jsut be coming from the oil pan seal or the oil pan drain plug?

[iceminion]

I personally did the oil pan seal, and it sealed just fine, so the the drain plug (changed oil for goodyear for 1/2 year, I know my shit)

but from what I remember when we put it all back together you didnt actually replace the oil pump, or the oil pump seal, not to mention that both main seals were not done....so the oil could be coming from anywhere, good luck.

I was thinking about building a plastic underengine pan..like the ones found in some Audi's...not sure how it would avoid getting melted from the exhaust, maybe it should be built out of metal....but i would rather ghetto up my car then leave huge oil spils everywhere I park.

Check the oil return line from the turbo.

[Super Bleeder!!]

Check the oil return line from the turbo.

+1, those things are bitches

[LingLing]

brand new bolts and gaskets on both ends of the turbo return line. lol i'll figure it out. yeah, i was thinking of making a drip pan too, since i really dont feel like destroying my friends driveways. oh well, lol i'll figure it out.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Did you get new gaskets for the 2 bolts that hold the oil return to the pan? They look like little washers, but they are really gaskets that hold back oil.

[LingLing]

yep, got those from mitsu too.
