  • Strange Oil Leak - Need Advice

    I am very familiar with our engine as I have rebuilt it but after I run the car, about a day later or so, I will see really small drips of oil coming off the Kmember. I jacked the car up to see if I could find where the leak is coming from and it honestly looks dry EVERYWHERE except the K member itself. I am almost positive its oil. Is there a line that goes through the k member?

    Any help would be great.

    After I got a remanufactured engine, I had small leaks...turns out it was oil pressure guage fitting..replaced it and oil seems to have gone away.

      I have the same problem too.

      So is this oil pressure gauge an easy thing to do?

          The oil pressure sending unit just screws into the timing cover next to the crank pulley, and has a pig tail coming off the back of it. Now the gauge itself would be a different story.

            Anyone ever notice where the oil spills when you remove the oil filter?

              Your not doing it right. JK Thats a good point, on the 3.8 it catches the front lip of the k-member by the rack and pinion.

                Yeah, but it's consistantly leaking from the same place even after several months of oil change.

                  The first time I changed the oil, it made a huge mess when the oil was running all over the k-member because of this. Since then I've been using a funnel to prevent that mess from happening, it works great.
