Okay. Got out of my car after work yesterday and noticed some oil on the ground.

I know i fixed ay leak that was in there so when I opened the hood I saw this.

and this

I'm thinking I'm just gonna do my headgasket. Anybody know anywhere else this could be coming from???

 

clean all the oil up off the engine to help you see where the problem is coming from.

 

I'm 90% sure it's the head gasket. there was oil behind the timing belt cover

 

ushally it is just the V/C gasket and the cam adjuster gasket that leak farily easy to change

 

If it was just the VC gasket, then how would coolant get in there???

 

sneeky coolant, always getting into the oil like that, Man that sux, All I know to do is like jest said and wash it down. gool luck.

 

Now that I got a good look at it in the light at lunchtime. I'm pretty positive it's the head. the VC is pretty cleanand the cam seal is fine. I'm just gonna do it and get it over with . I should have herhead off in a couple of hours here. I have to go buy a bunch of **** though. F'in Imports,, gotta love em. I think i've spent as much in tools as I have in mods

 

good luck man.

 

Tell me about it, i find my self getting more and more tools. Now that ive installed a stage 3 kit, makes me not want to jump under the hood for while. I have to install a fmic, snub mount, and efk next week too.

 

Well, she'll be together before noon. almost finished. I'm beginning to think it might not have been the head, but at least I have new gaskets in there and got to see the workings of the 1.8. whatevel it was I'll find out here today when I get her back on the road. I cleaned everything up so It would be a problam to tell. I just dont understand how oil could get all the way up to the head without being the head gasket. WHATEVER
