Yeah I've degreased and wiped it all down. The only spot that I keep getting oil on the bar with the holes in it and a few drops on the sump. I had it running with covers off and nothing came out. But I think I spilt like half a litre of oil.

Good news about the oil test, that must be a relief!

I can't find a leak. I'm just waiting to see if I am actually losing any oil. Im hoping it's just oil I spilt.

Could it have just been from when you say changed the oil filter? Some usually splashes out then.

It's really weird. Like considering how much oil is under my car I shoul notice a difference. But it's still perfectly on the full line. I might just drive it and see if it keeps happening. I'm going to put my oil pressure gauge in when I get a chance anyway. I don't trust the light.

Hey Steven

Good to hear the oil sample come back clean

Just curios could u send me deytails of where u sent it I'm gunna get mine done now aswell lol

Also I don't know If the stOck plate has anywhere to put an aftermarket gague

You have the tools to rebuild an engine but how can you not own a funnel? Or at least a coke bottle with the ass cut off it?

booztjjunkie - i tried to get it done through walkers but they dont do them anymore :/ , i ended up gettin my dad to do it through work.he snuck it in with the samples from the diesel trains.

the stock plate has 1 hole but i havent got a temp guage anyway so for now i think il be ok.

mafia - lol funnels dont help when a dog jumps on you.

Ok. I'm losing my mind, drove my car to work yesterday, checked the oil at smoko, down 1 litre. Ok fine, rang my wife she went and bought some oil and brought it down to me, put half a litre in. Get home have dinner, check oil and it's half a litre over full.

I wouldn't say I was driving hard but I wasn't grandmaing either. Like I'm running it in so bursts of acceleration. I'm up to 5500rpm now and the turbo has regained is old habits. Starts off at 3/4psi creeps to 7 and sits there for a while then gets up and walks its way to 16psi by 5500rpm.

Edit. Not sure if this is a major factor but that was up one of the steepest streets around.

My tuner is changing shops so yeah I'm still waiting. And if I knew it would spike that high I wouldn't have done it, it only happened once. I'm beig very careful with it, I measure the oil that came out over night and there is mayb 4/5ml. In my drip tray.

I am trying to use the same spot at work everyday but it's not easy to get it all the time.

I was thinking about it last night and what if my machinist machined a oil bit off the oil seal part of my crank.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
