ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    place a piece of cardboard underneath your car overnight to see if it's leaking

    you can't always rely on ground spots.

        If the oil is burning, you should be blowing blue smoke from your tailpipe. Have a friend follow you and look for that while you're driving.

            If you do find out it is a leak from the ground spots your car makes. Make sure to replace the oil pan gasket. That's a good place to start for oil leaks.

                Another place oil leaks that seems to be common is the bolt below the oil filter



                If it is leaking you will see staining on your exhaust or smell burning oil. If it is leaking, Drain the oil, take out the bolt (it is a large hex bolt), clean it of any debris and oil then use silicon tape or liquid lock tight and put it back in. It won't be a problem again

                Have you checked your timing cover? There are oil seals behind it that can leak. It could be pooling in the cover then escaping when you drive but not leaking when it is parked.
