Default oil leak



Normal areas where oil leaking would start: valve cover gasket, head gasket, oil pan, rear main seal. Are you sure it is leaking, and not burning? I am guessing if it only has 100K, it shouldnt be burning it. Start at the top of the engine and work your way down, looking at the engine, while it is running, and after it has warmed up a little. This is when oil will leak as parts expand. Also try giving the engine a good rev from the throttle, and see if you see oil leak anywhere.</P>


Good Luck!<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>
