Hrmmm...i got some issues.

My new AP exhaust is coming on tuesday so in my boredom today i decided to take the old exhaust off and do some inspecting to try and decipher where the oil i see under my P-car is coming from! Prior to taking everything apart i figured i was just dealing with a RMS issue...now im not so sure.

btw...sorry about the crap quality of the pics. My digital camera is MIA so i had to use my phone.

The first 3 pictures are all from the same area, which is right below the headers/spark plug. at first glance the oil appears to be coming from the spark plug holes??? There is an actual "drip" on the header directly below this spot which makes me think it's a pretty significant leak. Any ideas???




heres the drip on the header! and a pic to the rear of the header where the oil appears to be running down to.

 

Round 2...

this is what i believe to be an rms leak...but there is ALOT of oil, it;s all over everything in the area including some of the transmission housing?!? It drips probably 10 drips/day onto the garage?!?

 

What you should do is wipe the oil off from every spot possible. Then drive the car and check again because oil runs around, and what looks like it's coming from on spot, could be very well coming from somewhere else.

 

actually i thought the same thing. So i did a complete undercarrage degreasing about 250miles ago. All that oil is "new"
