Oil leak

Hi guys

Yesterday after 2 hours of driving when came home noticed it's losing oil.

I had a look today and after the car was warm found out it's coming around balancer (ATI) ?. And little bit oil inside cam cover (clear).

so am I f###d???? Or it's some seals or something??

And would it cost me arm and a leg?

it's a 33 GTR , N1 block, Nitto bottom end.

Thanks

Bruce

Is it a track car?

If not get a standard pump not an N1

Its easy to think because its a flash 'NISMO' pump its going to be better but not the case for driving around town.
The N1 pump is designed to work at higher RPM

Just an update:

Car is at mechanics and whole front is off and It doesn't look like its the cam/crank seals or grub screws .

Looks like engine out and head off :mad::mad: ,been told it could be oil pump (8000km Nitto pump) or seals in there somewhere???

Will report back when the leak I found.:blush:

I don't know if you have seen the clip or not it was actually dripping out When the car was warm only , oil pressure was normal (started high then dropped when warm unless the gauge is stuffed) when I was looking for a leak, Nitto pump was new when installed .

I will wait  few a days after they check other possible culprits then weigh my options. 

Might do my EFR single turbo conversion while the engine is out and save some money ?!!? 

What you guys think??

Cheers 

Bruce

You have to be careful the mechanic isn't taking you for a ride is all. The engine needs to be cleaned, mocked up less belt covers, ps and ac belts off and fan off to be able to warm the car and get a clear indication where the leak Is happening. If they don't know where it's coming from and they don't do that test I would find another mechanic. The leak should be obvious at the rate the oil was coming out on the video.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
