+1 to rocker cover gaskets, mine leaked when I bought it as well.

Owned for 2 years like that & had no problems (didn't really know much about cars at the time & was a noob), I finally got them changed & had no more oil stains around that area again.

you will also find that on a lot of r33s they also chose the optional leaking power steering reservoir as well.

Mine had the optional PS leak.

Do they actually leaking from the hoses themselves or the joints? When I took my air intake snorkel thing out I noticed a fair bit of PS fluid had dripped onto of my A/C compressor. I tightened the bolts up & it seem to have stopped it, however the PS hose & where it joints to other parts of the engine is still oily.

yeah that is just the factory optioned leaking rocker cover seals. easy fix. you will also find that on a lot of r33s they also chose the optional leaking power steering resevoir as well.

Lol, you read my mind word for word

lol yup. both of these. my PS is leaky yet, but i am getting a bit of that build up at the back. replace the seals its not too hard. dont just tighten the screws, it may look like it helped....but most of the time just makes the leak worse.

I got a defect fine for $80 from a highway patrol for that rocker cover oil leak I had blink.gif easy job swapping gaskets over though no biggie

I have slight leaks from PS resv. as well, got lazy and just tightend up screws a bit and it has definately slowed leak down lmao.

Both my R33's had the same shit going on. Only the teeniest bit of oil ever came out, I just couldn't justify fixing it lol. Also both my skylines have the leaking resevoir. I have NO f**king idea where the fluid is going but its on the hose and its dripping. No matter what I tighten up it doesn't stop.

    • 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.
