Anyone in Baltimore area can help find oil leak

[auditrackspeed]

It turns out it was not the oil pan its leaking where the snub mount bracket bolts to the engine . But there is no scrape or damaged noticeable under the car in that area either on the pan or anything where it would show impact from when i scraped very strange. Anyone local that could help since i cant drive it to a shop , would help alot .


Note: Only leaks then car is running

No offense but when i started reading the content of this post I then remembered I just read your issue in your other post. Then I remembered you had a clutch slave issue a month or so again and did he saaaaaame thing. Quit making multiple posts. I understand you're frustrated but making a separate post is not going to get you quicker help. In fact it may make other reluctant to answer.

Now on to the help... What I normally do with any leaks is run a dye test. A lot of times oil will accumulate in lower areas giving you the impression that a leak is coming from a certain area. You may have simply uncovered an existing problem just because you are focused on the impact that happened.

Put the dye in and run the car for a couple of days (if the oil leak isn't that bad) if the leak is really that obvious then of course you don't need to do this but looks to me you haven't a clue.

My bad . I just dont have a car to get to work now . The oil leak is very bad to the point if i drive it 10 mins i will lose mabe a quart

If I'm not mistaken, the snub bracket bolts into the oil pans. You still need to address the pans imo

It's either the upper or lower pan or the front crankshaft seal.

Do you think it'd be easier to pull the front end off real quick so you can get a better look? Doesn't take that long just mark your bolts on top of the core support and the bolts on the front of the frame rails. This will make realigning much easier.

Thanks i was thinking about just taking everything off up front . I have done it on a b7 s4 seems to be much easier

Update . I just ran the car for about 5 - 10 mins and there was NO leak at all then after that time the oil came down leaking down . At this point i highly doubt its the oil pan and never was

[vavJETTAw36]

Oil cooler is around that area as well if I'm not mistaken. Could it be coming from there?

It's not that bad taking the front end off; that's probably your best bet finding the leak, especially if you are already having a hard time locating it knowing it's most likely from the front.

After about 15 mins of searching with no success I would have just yanked the front off...or get an extendable, foldable mirror and a bright ass flashlight and start peeking around
