Another problem just popped up - there's these two oil leaks I've found underneath the car.

One of them is on the front end slightly behind all the pumps/belts etc and is a bitch to look into it. Another one is on the passenger's side towards the end and near all the exhaust pipings. What is/are the possible causes of the leaks?

There's not a lot of oil lost but is sure as hell annoying to stain the driveway.

Thanks people.

It's just got all these annoying problems - it's far from disastrous (what about that guy bought a car in and can't comply it? To me, that's a diaster..)

The wheel alignment issue is sorted (bad alignment done over in Japan) and the start-up issue was a chipped ECU that no one seem to have picked up right from the word go.

maybe clean it up and then have another look in a few days for fresh oil, might help pin-point it easier.

I think degrease it while it's cold all around the turbo's/block and underneath to and take it for a fang and play the waiting game :)

the leak from the front end could be cam seal , try to open the cambelt cover and see if there is leak behind the cam gear. if there is oil behind the cam gear definetely cam seal has **cked

As from the side looks like the oil came from steering rack, squeeze the steering boot and if oil pissing out from there it must be steering rack seal need to be replaced

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
