    Stupid oil leak

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I had change all the top seals and gaskets a few months ago after discovering that my valve covers were leaking and then cleaned everything up so I could see if they would leak again. Changed my oil a few weeks ago and they was oil all over the bottom of the car almost on everything below the exhaust manifold on both sides, everything above that was bone dry, wtf. So I cleaned it up until I got some time to check it. So this weekend I rip the car apart to find what was leaking



    So after doing all of this I finally discover that my crank case system/spider hose/pcv was clogged, they was a bunch of oil in the hoses leading to my intercoolers. So my plan is to re-do my spider hose with heater hose re-use the connections but add a oil catch can. I just need to find a spot to put it. Do any of you guys with auto trans have oil catch cans and if you do where did you put it ?

    Yup

    Step 1- Remove auto transmission
    Step 2- Install manual transmission
    Step 3- Install catch can in manual spot



    But seriously, this was the best location i've seen when ^that is not available.

    I actually have that DIY saved but on the auto they isn't that much room there, the SAI pump is in the way. I was planning on putting it between the brake booster and the ecu.
