Oil leaking on top of engine 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Ryan on  Tue Dec 6 16:25 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have an oil leak on top of the engine under the Black Plastic 850 Turbo Logo thing sits, I had the evaporator under the intake replaced, the mechcanic said that was probably it and would fix it, and well it still happens! I cleaned it the other day and its full to the max again in that resivor area. What else should I try, is somthing clogged?


Thanks!!

    Get a new gasket for the cap. Then check the vacuum lines that go to the turbo inlet pipe close to the firewall, they may be clogged up with old oil.

      I think it's more from the dealer, but about that from www.fcpgroton.com
      Good luck! I also agree with Klaus, check the vacuum lines, otherwise after a little while you'll be having to replace the oil cap gasket again if they are clogged. And...if you wait too long, you'll be replacing your rear main seal from the positive pressure in your system...big bucks! No joke.
