Well, I went outside about 5 min ago to smoke a cig and noticed a puddle of oil under my car. WTF I think? So I go to investigate, and theres oil all over the FRONT of my bumper on the passenger side, like it was spraying out. Everything inside the bumper is covered with oil. Anyone know what the **** is goin' on? I really don't wanna get stuck at work. Thanks...

Is it possible that you blew one of the lines to your oil cooler?

Yeah man I hope you got a best case scenario there. I will use Jedi mind trick on it and everything will be good...

WHAAT?? so is it on the same side as the oil cooler or not?? new oil lines are like 90 bucks, and it takes a couple big wrenches to get the lines off.



the oil cooler it'self is held on by 4-10mm nuts. Shouldn't take too long, depends on how buzzed you are. I probably have an old line you can have if you want it. One of them was leaking tho.

k i re-read your post, u sure it's not power steering or possibly crap from your a/c system. Unless you blew an end tank on yoru oil cooler ?? your car has got some issues!!!



maybe it's from reving the **** out of it when it's cold!!!

Its spraying out the passenger side. Thats whats confusing me...And its not like its dripping out, its ******' spraying. Ive noticed a few drips here and there for about 3 weeks not, but didnt think it was major. Welp...
