3rd try, HELP ME TRACE AN OIL LEAK! ok I did a 231/237 and afr install. I am getting an oil leak that I cant find. Its coming off the crossmember below the front of the motor. I already pulled it all apart once, added more RTV to seal the base of the timing cover. I cant see where its running from, I can only see the drip off the crossmemeberon left and right sides of it(its a semi steady drip)!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Whats a good technique? Should I just go to a shop w a lift? my thought is it has to be the timing cover? I did get a new main seal that is a hard rubber type and not the steel ring I had before from TSP.
its leaking from left and right side of the crossmember, and ive 'fixed ' it once so i'm a lil pisssssed off at myself, but i just cant see anything.
btw it pulls like a bad **** (its just leaky)!
anyone?
this is in my 1999 frc btw

Get under there on jack stands while it's running & look.
Maybe get some brake clean, clean it all up, let it dry off & then fire it up & see where it's comming from.
