Why would the range be less than the previous sale price? Sounds a bit off from the beginning...

Yeah, real estate agent got a scare when he called us asking if we had any offers and we said we knew it had sold for 600 previously...he spouted some shit about them being desperate to get rid of it, prolly to cover his ass.

Oil return line to Turbo? I have swapped that already sadly.

I should probably also say that it looks like it's dropping on the front sway/running down the sump.

Can it be anything other than the front main and/or oil pump gasket?

Don't see why they would be load-based however.

What do you mean A4 sized oil leak? Bruh cars oil pressure usually rises with revs, you should know this. More pressure = More likely to leak

If it's coming from the front then it's likely to be Cam seals or Crank seal.

Yeah I figured it was pressure related, but wasn't really sure how more pressure wouldn't just cause something to fail fully.

What I meant by a4 sized, is that the patch on the plastic cover under the engine (under the sump etc) is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper.

Don't know much about oil (of all the problems Ive had this one is new)

Cams all look dry, well rocker covers at least. Nothing is oily above where the Harmonic balancer is, so I figure it has to be the crank seal, but again, don't really know shit and could very easily be something else I never knew about

so ive been thinking of what JayZ passed on to us, and im not sure of his situation.

Did he have bitches, and that theyre not a problem or that he didnt have bitches therefore they werent a problem?

Sometimes it's hard to see a cam seal leaking, usually you'll see it down the side of the lower cover and pooled around the crank. It's all about finding the highest point that the oil is leaking from, oil can't drip upwards after all.

Both

He was saying that bitches present no problem for him, when he has them and when he doesn't.

Are you sure it's oil and not ps fluid?

It was originally gold, and I thought it was trans fluid (Transmax Z is gold) but it was just new oil as it gradually got darker, and the fact all the PS stuff was completely spared. It also gets all over the hard trans lines and where they connect to rubber joiners so I've had many "Ah I bet its just XYZ!" to be found no, sorry, it is not XYZ.

This is what I thought too, the highest oil was on the merge point of the top and lower cover, I can't think of anything else it really could be, hence the post because I r n00b

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
