question for everyone here



About two weeks ago I decided to try Mobil one 15-50 syn.

This weekend I notice a small puddle of oil. It seems to be in a shape of the drip pan. So I tightened all the bolts that could get at. Went to work and back the next day and I notice it is still leaking....Lifted the hood and I noticed that the front of the engine is wet. around the OMP....I'm not exactly sure if it is the front cover of the engine that is leaking, I mean if it was both sides would be wet and not just the passenger side...





I was just wondering if anyone else had the same experience...I will try to post some pics...



thanks,

I have the same exact leak, I'm thinking it's the omp o ring. I'm not sure, that omp is a bitch to get to. Are you burning oil also?..

I have heard "stories" that people have developed leaks when going to synthetic due to the thiness of the oil. Like I said "stories" I have not had this experienced this to verify true or false

Yeah... synth will open up all kinds of leaks!

Is it bad to switch from synth to reg oil? The previous owner used it but I'm not a fan since I'm changing it every 2K miles anyway.

I switched to Mobil One a few months back... no leaks get... been running it in a turbo miata for 5 years. No problems.
