Got a small oil leak in my r33 gtst from past 2 weeks. It is starting from between head and engine block near gear box. It is not dripping oil but gradually it increase. I just wonder is it my head gasket….? I have no coolant leak of smoke on my car. Any way to fix this thing without replacing head gasket…?Pls help

no i chked that its not the half moon seal mate.

i cleaned the thing and chked. its starting from last head bolt towards to gear box. i did the compression test. they all ok. results are 165:170:175:165:174

Sure its not your 1/2 moons leaking?

As 'payback21' said, I thought I had a similar problem then I looked at the back of the engine and found oil slowly leaking from the rocker cover gaskets down near the gearbox area. So have a look at that. It's alot cheaper and easier to replace than a head gasket!

i wouldn't be suprised if it was just the usual rocker cover leak. this is extremely common.

if it is actually coming from between the head and the block then a compression test wouldn't show much as that only shows what is happening between the head and the block around the piston. the block could have a hole in the side of it and you could still get a decent compression test reading.

this is the oil leak from. pls see the image

I can see oil on that bolt b4 it driping to the bell housing.slowly oil leak spreading back of the engine.

what do u think abt this.

I did my compression test again using different gauge. [T&E Compression Tester]

results are

110:110:120:110:120:120

my prob is car is running very smooth. no smoke nothing. and it hits 10 psi 3000-3500 rpm when the engine is warm up.

im using castrol edge 10w-60. car want rev up to red lne. but b4 i use 0w-40 castrol edge. those days it rev up to 6000 rpm no prob.

pls consider these things and write ur sugession. im not very good with rb engines

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
