xxscaxx Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 find the leak first. it could be 30 different things. let the car run and when it starts smoking look where its coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 any oil leak could turn out to be something you should worry about.. Just depends on how much it leaks and how often you check it.. I had a '93 civic that went through a gallon of oil a week.. i never really gave a sh*t about it, so i just kept addin oil.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 so i just kept addin oil... This is the most important thing to do. You must keep adding oil until you find the leak, or risk further damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnoossss Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 ty. i have been lookin to see were its been comin from. its coming from underneath the front of the engine under the oil tank. Its not alot of smoke but still noticable. It doesnt leak alot but i have been keeping the oil filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
