Oil leaking...
Ok so I realized that my car is leaking oil somehow. The belly pan has been dripping onto the driveway, not a ton but a little. My oil level doesn't seem to be too low, although I find that trying to read the oil level on the stock dipstick is rather infuriating. But I mean it is just a little below min if at all. What are the possibilities of what could be wrong here? Thanks all!

RE: Oil leaking...
Depends on how bad the leak is, & if you can live with it.
The only leak that should be taken serious is the turbo oil lines.
Yup, they are all a PITA to fix & if you fix one, the other will start to leak.

RE: Oil leaking...
Ok i see... well if I go to do the turbo lines can I upgrade them to bigger ones? I know that the 2001 had larger oil lines for the turbos and it helped with the life of them. How much do you think it would be to do all of that stuff at the same time. The locally indy mech here only charges like $65/hr for labor. Pretty good.. I kinda doubt any of this stuff is easy enough for me to tackle myself... idk maybe not...

I know the dealer charges $3800 for the upper valve seals (VCG, CS & CTS). You also get the TB job done, as the cam gears need to be pulled.

A lot of folks over at BITOG (Bob is the Oil Guy) have reported good results after cleaning their engines with Auto-Rx: http://www.auto-rx.com/
