oil leak

[Jcopin]

has anyone come across this? I TRIED SEARCHING!!! lol

Probably going to take it back to the dealer. I would think it would be covered under the powertrain warranty. I wouldn't think this is normal.

Yes, many of us have had that. Most have been taken care of from the dealer under warranty with no problems. I took mine in, they cleaned it and put some dye in the oil to see where the leak was coming from and it never leaked again.

so what was the issue?

how can someone not under warranty fix this?

I heard it was just take a bolt out, put some thread sealant on it and replace it but not sure which bolt it was, no details.

I am curious as well as to what it was.

Just had my leak fixed yesterday.
This is what they wrote .
Oil switch leaking tighten bolt 3 turns recheck ok.
Said it was like that from the factory, oy
Cleveland engine oh no.

Guess i should take out the aftermarket bov. Don't want them blaming it on anything stupid

For sure it is a bolt on the timing cover but I have not found yet which one is causing the issue

Does anyone have the torque specs on the front cover bolts? I'd like to check all mine.

10Nm

Would you know how much would that be in ft lbs?
I have this problem as well. Is this anything to be very concerned about?

Same post as my last is this something to be considered with? I have this as well on my engine.

10NM = 7.4 Ft Lbs.

Something to be concerned about? Not really. Except oil shouldn't be leaking out. I just think whenever there's a leak, it will just get worse. It's a mess, dirt sticks to it and may cause corrosion on parts it covers. For me it was just more cleanliness and appearance.

Thanks for the input! I'll probably make an appointment to get it sorted. Right now all I have on my car is the dual valve catch can from UPR and I don't think that should be a problem that they would void the warranty
