Oil Leak

Hello once again :nyaanyaa:

I went on a hills run yesterday through Chittering with some mates. After a good 1.5 hours of revving the car hard constantly and speeds above 100km/h, we all stopped for about 30mins for a breather/etc.

My car was running right on song, engine temp was perfect, oil pressure was normal, boost all good, etc etc. I opened up the bonnet to check the engine for any other problems and saw that oil had splattered everywhere over the right hand side of the engine bay (where the turbo is). I had a quick look and could not see any leaks. I let the car cool off a bit, then we kept going.

After seeing that the car had been leaking oil i wasn't pushing as hard, although the engine kept singing, not a single thing was out of place.

I came home last night, degreased the engine bay, cleaned everything up, jumped in the pit and hand a look underneath after removing the stone guard/cover. I could not see any leak/s at all, so i'm not too sure what is happening.

My suggestion is that it is an oil leak only appearing under high pressure, i.e. driving it hard like i was yesterday.

Any of you guys got any suggestions?

As always, any help is always appreciated! :(

where was the majority of the oil gathered around? Maybe have a pic with the area circled in might help.

might just be you simply driving it hard. An oil catch can perhaps might solve the problem if you dont have any noticible leaks normally.

sure its oil leak? When i do driftday and motorkhana, i get a lot of powersteering fluid on the right hand side. They are known to leak when you are cornering hard etc. Chuck on a sock on the power steering reservoir and it should stop the spills

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
