Oil Leak

[Scott 240sx]

ok so my 240sx leaks ands i dont know y i just replaced the oil pan and gasket and im replacing the slave cylender cuz it leaks.... help me out ppl

[rico05]

How about you tell us where the leak is at.

[Scott 240sx]

its under the oil pan.. well in that area but its not the oil pan

[Shabbernigdo]

new gasket on the drain plug?

[Scott 240sx]

i

new gasket on the drain plug?

ts a brand new oil pan i just put in today

[ricebike]

still no help in locating EXACTLY where the leak is coming from (unless u posts pix or something)

check the front/rear main oil seals?

valve cover seal not drizzling oil all the way down to the pan area?

oil pump near the timing cover not leaking oil?

oil filter/oil pressure gauge good?

you can steam clean the engine & then check after a couple o days?

how fast is the oil level dropping?

1. No titles in all caps.2. Leaks like that can't be found by people on the inaterweb for you. Clean off all the oil, well. Run the car for a few minutes and find where the leak is coming from, then either fix it or report back.

Are you sure you cleaned the old gasket off the flange well enough?

Does the car leak while the car is running, or just sitting?

ok so we figured out its for front main seal thats leaking... now i have another dam problem... my clutch is limp and wont come back out like if i pump it alot itll come back but if i pump it once it wont copme back itll just stay in the down potsition... ive bought a new slave cylender and ive bought a rebuild kit for my clutch resevour... the old slave cylender was leaking thats y i replaced it and rite after i replaced it, the clutch isnt poping back up from the down potsition theres like no pressure or somthing.. theres no leaks and im not sure what i need to replace next.

ok, well I have a 95 240sx and it sounds like the same thing as he had. I can't see the leak, but when I put my front end on jacks, and start it up, I can see oil dripping from around the alternator. It only leaks when the car is running.

Mm...bumping 2 year old threads.

More than likely, it's either your timing cover has broken its seal or the front main is leaking. I'm leaning on the front main.

Hey i have the same problem in my 240sx as you do.while the car is running only oil drips by the altenator area. what do you guys thing it is?

[OutToWinPAHC]

This is an awesome tool.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIGEJ0-aIiM

Have you cleaned to make sure not front seal? The PCV system has a little box behind the alternator. If that gasket goes bad it will leak on alt.

Dalesocks: your leak is probably from the oil pressure sending unit. Cheap and easy to fix usually. They leak here A LOT! And it looks like multiple leaks.
