Where are common spots that these cars leak oil from?

 

Turbo return line, cam seals, turbo cooling line, rear main seal, PCV system pressure blow off.

The PCV system is the #1 cause of most oil leaks in these cars so service that if you haven't.

 

how do you service the PCV system on these?

 

There is a write up in the 850 section, DIY thread.

 

Ordered my kit from gruton. Engine started leaking bad 1 month ago. Was told by a local shop that it was the front crank seal. Changed it and the timing belt two weeks ago. Hopefully it holds up until I fix the Pcv kit.

 

Keep your foot out of it.

 

On a lighter note, the gasket on the filler caps have been known to leak...

Good luck

 

Some of the common reasons you might experience an oil leak are:

Worn pistons and rings/Bad or worn gaskets/Oil plug not secured properly/Oil plug worn or damaged/Oil filter not attached correctly or missing gasket/High oil pressure (a problem in itself)/Oil coolant line corroded or leaking

 

new PCV kit just came in. Going to install this weekend. Have been driving the car with the dipstick up and seems to help a ton.

 

Make sure you clean the EGR if you have one.
