G35 Oil Leak Help.
I've been dealing with an oil leak for my g for awhile however I tried to diagnose what the problems was. I went online to find out where it may be. I changed my oil filter, redid the valve gaksets, checked if there was leaks on the oil pan, checked the o-ring, and checked the hoses. If there are any where else I should check can you guys let me know.

Have you ever had the vehicle up on a lift for a thorough inspection by a professional? Telcoman |
Step 1: clean up the mess
Step 2: use an inspection mirrors and flight light to watch EXACTLY where it leaks from Step 3: fix leak Stop throwing parts at the car hoping something finally works. |
Are you finding oil on the ground, or is your oil level dropping on the dip stick? The VQ is notorious for drinking oil. A catch can will help a little, but it's best to get used to checking your oil frequently, especially if you're asking your VQ to "sing in the upper registers" often, so to speak.

so u dont actually see a leak. ?
|
I do see oil. I would drive it and come back home and wake up in morning and see drips of oil on the driveway.
|
yea like telecoman said may not even be engine oil ur seeing.
|
Probably. The color is dark and yellowish. I just assumed it was oil but might be something else. And it is dripping in between the transmission and engine.
|
That's usually the rear main seal failing at the back end of the crankshaft, it leaks into the bellhousing and then drips out onto the ground.
You can also do a UV dye test and use a black light to find out where it's leaking from. |
