Well I knew I had a oil leak before I changed my oil today. I got some GUNK to flush it out (and to kinda make the leak more apparent). I poured the GUNK in the engine and.....IT WAS LEAKING OUT PRETTY QUICK!!!! About a shot glass (for lack of measurment) came out. So I started the car, ran it the five minutes, drained my oil, changed the filter, and filled up the oil again. I checked the dipstick, full. Started the engine, ran it for about 5 more minutes. I spotted some dripping from the oil pan. Problem is that it's not from the oil pan or seal. It's from up higher. I tried lookin around but it's useless. It looks as if there has been a leak for quite some time and it hasn't been takin care of. So, I plan on driving it and washing out the engine bay then looking for the leak again. Any pointers on finding it would be helpfull. Oh....and now there is a ticking noise from the front of the engine where the timing chain is.....
... Oh, well. I guess I would have had to fix it sometime. It goes with the RPM of the engine and can't be heard after a certain RPM.
GO MAINTENANCE!!!!!
