So as the title says, i apparently have an oil leak coming from the side of the engine. I noticed it a couple weeks back so i wiped the area clean, and now oil is collecting again. I know I know, im taking it in for warranty work obviously, just curious if anyone has had a similar problem or ideas of what it might be. Here's a picture of what im talking about.



Sorry for the crappy picture.

And btw, the only real work i had done on it was stage 2.

 

weird. i would expect that maybe if you had the valve cover off

 

it could be the valve cover or you might have a pourus head.

 

i have no idea where the injectors are, but could it be the mechanic did tighten something up well enough when doing the stage 2 upgrade?

so if you think it was the valve cover, just trying tightening up the bolts on the side there?

 

there is no need to remove valve cover to install injectors. they are on the outside.

 

well that answers that question

Could it be just the seal that the valve cover pushes down on is bad?

 

how many miles are on your car. and it could just be one of those things that just happens. i've worked on a car that had like a 1000km on it and had a pretty bad oil leak on it.

 

its a 2007, with about 10,500 miles on it

 

ive noticed the same thing with my 07 in about the same areas..... my guess is the valve cover as well...

 

well im calling them tomorrow to schedule a time, so ill let you guys know what they say. thanks for the replies guys

 

yeah brian... make sure you tell them that your valve cover gasket is seeping oil ever since you have hat stg 2 done.... thats kinda odd that happened with only 10,500. dont let them fool you, that will be covered under warranty
