oil leak...help

[Blue92mk2]

i went through 8 quarts of oil in my mark 2 yesterday...i have a 2.0 crossflow in it...the oil doesnt seem to be leakin from the engine...its actually further back on the right like near the back of the right wheel if ur facing the car...what is it

I can't say for sure, but here are a few places to check first anyway.

Oil pan gasket/Drain plug seal
Oil pressure sending unit
Engine oil seals
Oil pump housing

Goog luck!

all that oil drained tim? It was over filled by like 2-3 quarts so that would have worked its way out... I think you just need the entire oil breather setup for the xflow instead of the off off ur digi. I think u were right when u said the oil was hitting the rad. fan

On a drive no longer than 3 blocks, about 3/4 of a quart was shot out of his car... Someone has to have an idea...

the best way to know is cleaning the engine and then wait for the oil to show it face.
go luck.

For the sake of spending more money...start frest. Drain, new filter. Clean the engine as suggested. Drive through any big puddles or anything like that?

Wont work, like I said, on a very short drive it will spit like 1/2+ quart onto the rad fan and throw it everywhere, head to pinpoint. He has the oil breather and lines off his DIGi and not the xflow ones, might that be it?

over summer i had to replace the oil pressure sending unit on mine.. when it went out oil leaks pretty fast. the part is pretty cheap and easy to replace. i'd check that out.

i had a similar problem when i first got my 2.0 i found it leaking through an oil sensor of some sort on the right side of the motor or drivers side, just below the valve cover. it leaked like crazy i changed the valve cover gasket twice before i figured it out. i was pissed the sensor was like 8 bucks...this probably doesnt help you problem. hmmmm

He did a bad oil change, and somehow got a hole in his oil cooler. 275$ later, its fixed
