Topic #40750 16 posts Started by BlackCelicaGT94
So im assuming i have a leak. Ive always had a small leak but 6 quarts since Friday is rediculous.

Any other possibilities if its not a hole or something?

I need a new 5sfe within the next few months :-( blah!

Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
well can you see visual puddle/drops under your car?
someone is syfoning your oil!!!

how many miles? check your coolant and make sure is clean (not getting oil in it.) and keep a close eye under the car when your parked. could be a number of things though.

? I can think of a diff motor that would be a better choice and get you closer to that gt-4 clone status smile.gif
to loose that much there must be a leak, tricky thing is that the leak may only be loosing oil when the oil pressure is at a certain level.

let the motor warm up to normal op temp and then take a trouble light and check for leaks in the obvious places first. Around gaskets and seals, oil filter, bolt, pan.

omg lol i have a noticable leak from the pan and my #1 cylinder is burning oil and i only use about a quart in a week/200 miles or so .

its odd u dont notice 6 quarts going some where. smoke from the tail pipe, smoke from the engine bay, and a puddle of oil on the ground should be noticable.

oil pump could have a leak in it

so im assuming thats really bad


Yes oil in the coolant is bad. that means you have a head gasket leak.

I thought a quart about every 3000 miles was bad. You need to check everything. Mostly like Bitter said. I would make this a priority before you do any day to day driving. Wouldn't want it to run dry.

If the oil pump was leaking it would have low oil pressure. The oil pump is in the crankcase.
Any updates on it?

Unlikely you are burning even CLOSE to that much oil.
Unless you have HUGE clouds of blue smoke and a loss in power.
rings don't go that fast, unless you suddenly blew something.
And you should hear a noise at the very least.

If it's a leak, same thing.
You will have a pretty good sized puddle....
And they normally don't just happen that large either.
Unless something popped off....

Do you have any more info?
The rings are not bad, she has probably BROKEN a ring. Hell, it probably looks like a dang mosquito fogger running down the street. Good luck.

do these car have oil cooler built in to the rad. if so your rad. might be bad ahd a friend with that problem
I believe it's just a cooler on the block under the filter.
Coolant flows around the oil.

VERY unlikely it is leaking there, at least not into the coolant.
