Oil leaks...

[skyline2778]

Hi,
I m facing this new problem whereby once a while i'll get these leaks right under my engine around the oil filter area.I m not sure whether it's engine oil or something else coz it's green in color and doesn't smell like oil....but when i feel around the filter, i dun see the oil.Can anyone help.Tq.

Green? It is oily? If not, it could be radiator coolant. If it is oily, could be a leaking gasket.

You can try smell it. If it stinks like shit, then it's gearbox oil. If it's just irritating smell and not like shit, it's just engine oil.
Mine last time engine oil + gear box oil, so another different smell, not so stink but still very irritating smell...

Don't know how to explain.
Last time is oil sump seal or something broken....cheap to replace, but have to drain the engine oil i think.

Yeah it's oily....sticky also.Doesn't smell like shit la....actually something like odourless...:confused_smile:

Actually it's a figure of speech. If you smell engine oil and gearbox oil b4, then I believe you'll be able to distinguish.
Anyway, we Malaysians don't have to think so much lah, just bring to workshop, once they jack up the car, they'll know which part leaking 1.
We are the lazy bunch now... hahaha
