G'day guys,

I grabed my 1st import a month or so ago. A R32 GTR. Everythings awesome now (fixed the fuel gauge and speedo in about 30mins)

But it leaks oil, out the dip stick pipe. Seems to be coming out at pressure too. I called my local import service centre and they reckon its a engine out job to fix and is caused by bad seals.

Can anyone conferm this for me? or have any ideas on how to stop is pissing oil over my engine bay.

Cheers.

umm yeah they are probably right.

most likely reason for the dipstick loosing oil is pretty bad blowby in the rings (worn rings). You can confirm with a compression test.

In the meantime, turning the boost down might help.

The next most likely option is a blocked PCV valve under the plenum, but it is damn hard to remove with the engine in anyway.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
