Oil leak, possibly from too much oil?Kearsed 03-13-2007, 02:02 PM I noticed my car has a little oil leak and was wondering if it is because there is too much oil. I checked my oil and it was about a quarter inch above the fill line (the 2nd notch) I am hoping that is the case, if it is not what should I do? Thanks Daniel M.

You need to find the source and correct it if you want to stop the leak. Common areas: Valve cover gasket, (when the valve cover is off probably a good idea to also change the PCV valve grommet, and check spark tube seals) Distributor O ring Oil pan seal Front oil seals: crankshaft, oil pump (O ring and cover gasket), less common camshoft oil seal Kearsed 03-13-2007, 05:43 PM Ok I am going to have it looked at in a couple days. What should I hope for and what will be the price of it lol.....oil leaks scare me thanks vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
