Hey guys,

I was doing some spirited driving on Saturday night in my 300KW R33 GTR. I noticed in my driveway on Sunday morning a oil leak. Found oil around the oil filter however it is fully tight.. Dip stick was also sticking out a little bit. There's hardly any oil left on the dip stick. Oil pressure is fine though on the factory gauge and no weird sounds in the motor and did not notice any power loss.

Gonna take it to a mechanic to do compression and leak down test. Did some research and apparently, the dipstick only reads about 1L from the bottom of it to the "H" mark. Is this true? If so, prob means I still have at least 3.6L in the sump? Has this happened to anyone else before? Attached some pics.

Oil filter might be ruptured. Take it off and have a look.

I would find and fix the oil leak first, then see how it runs, and only bother with compression and leak down tests if its making weird noises or down on power.

Dipstick out can be either;

1. Someone didnt push it in all the way

2. Perished rubber not tight enough to hold it in

3. Stuck PCV valve

4. Excessive blowby (and here's where the compression/leak down are useful)

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      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.
