I agree, & not too bad of a job as compared to some. You will need to drain the antifreeze a bit, pull the oil filter & remove the nut holding the oil cooler assembly to the block. It will be a bit of a chore to get the two small hoses off, but not all that bad. I would pick them up & replace them along with the o-ring. All together about an hour involved for the job.

Hi guys, I found a major oil leak somewhere in the back of the engine, but not the main seal. I can't see where it is. What am I to expect? Right now, I'm spraying Breaklean all over there about. It is just too crowded there with the engine support, oil pressure switch, coolant pipe, intercooler, etc. Anyone had any experience like this? The car is loosing a quart in twenty miles. Zoltan |
