:mad: so ya steering rack is dead 220k miles i guess can take its toll on the thing also have a good size leak
symptoms seems to drip down when car is on
lil build up on left side of the head
took off the vtec solnoid and cleaned the gasket looked perfect so ii also added cvt black stuff 2 seal it better
(im not sure/havent looked to see if its better yet up there but thought id say it)
if its not this and it builds up more i was told it could either be the valve cover or cam seal...
but also the back right of the engine bay has oil build up, the oil pan was also drenched ( i did use 10w30 syn) but still dont understand why it would get so bad in one day there was little to no build up (near the solenoid)b4 i did the oil change i ran the car for about a day with the 10w until i noticed an oil pressure drop slightly and it kept going so took out the dip shat looked and i was low on oil when i was higher then the 2nd hole b4 i left
im going to replace the oil pan gasket tomorrow and clean up the engine bay... if it comes back i may need some help
woot woot...
at least im hoping this is all cause its nothing major a friend of myne has an ITR steering rack and he wants me turbo kit so i can work something out there its the oil loss that worries me :mad:
