Hey guys,

About 2-3 weeks ago i noticed oil on my driveway where i park my car. Small 'bottom of coke can' size spots. I figured out that it was driping from the plastic skid plate under the engine. After taking off the skid plate i noticed that there was a 'river' or 'flow' of oil from the front to the back of the skid plate. So now i know the oil is coming from either the front most part of the engine and/or the left side. The right side of the skid plate was very clean...no right side oil leak. So sure enuf i pop the hood and look down the radiator and the entire passenger side of my engine is coverd in oil.

Weird- Their is oil condensation on the outside of the plastic belt guard on the front passenger side of the engine. How it got there i dont know.

I just looked again and i now see that there are oil coverd parts surrounding the entire passenger side of my engine. (frame, coolent lines ect.)

I am thinking its the valve cover because thats the only thing (to my knowlege) that could spray oil on that large of and area.

What do i need to do to steam clean my engine?

Can any one guess what it is?

 

Usually valve gasket doesn't spray oil. Check the oil lines to the turbo.
