Normal cause of an oil leak?

[Evil Goat]

take a can or 2 of BRAKE CLEAN and spray all over everything and wipe everything dry. pressure wash if u want to. it's better if u do this when the car is cold. then go driving and see if it leaks. if so, jack it back up and see where the leak is.

negative captain....you dont want to spray brake clean on everything, that shit eats o-ring seals for breakfast and shits them out in the form of slow red mustangs....not to mention if you get that shit on any electronics it causes oxidation and eventually the sensor will not work properly

brake clean does wonders, but make sure most everything that you think might can get damaged is covered in some sort of way, if its leaking that bad its gotta be pretty obvious where its coming from


it is possible that when the oil was changed last that the rubber gasket from the old oil filter stuck to the block and its now leaking due to that....i had that problem once, the one time i didnt check to make sure the seal came off w/ the oil filter and it happened, wasted 7 qts of mobil1

i'm assuming, if i get under it before her uncle does, you're right.. i should be able to spot it pretty easily.

wtf? why the fuck u taking shots at me dick? whatever fuck off.

we have never had an incident with brake clean at our shop. If you spray in the back of the motor what seal is there? none. u have the drain plug gasket and thats it. Brake clean dries so fast u have to wipe off immediatley anyways.

naw i've used ZEP for years cleaning and keeping engines clean with no problems at all...specifically B and D-series engines.

As for the oil filter, that could possibly be the issue...I would think it would be quite noticeable on the dipstick though That's definitely where i would start though and should be able to take a peak under the intake manifold during daylight or with a flashlight and see down behind there...
