Hi,

I've owned the car for a few months now and it's been constantly leaking oil and I've placed some cardboard under to catch all the droppings. I usually don't drive the car too much, about every 2 weeks I take it out. The oil stains on the cardboard have formed in about those 2 weeks that I haven't driven it. I recently thought it was the valve cover gasket leaking, so I replaced that and the spark tube plug seals as well. Thought it was all fine but I guess I fixed a different problem. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be? I plan on jacking the car up tomorrow and was wondering if there are some places I should be checking. Thanks y'all!

 

Have you changed the aluminum crush ring on the oil drain plug?

 

You will probably have to clean things up pretty well and then keep a sharp eye out for the first sign of the oil seepage. Follow it to the source. If you let it go, the oil can spread all over the place making leak identification problematic.

 

I plan to go down there to clean up the mess and hopefully catch where it's leaking from. Will definitely also check the oil drain plug to see if that might be the source. Thanks for the suggestions!
