oil leak while driving only
need help bad oil leak
Has anybody seen this? '97 GLE bad oil leak when rpm's greater than idle.
Dealer gave me a quick "That'll be a $1600 fix, MAAM."
Hmm. He said oil coming out from under timing cover.
Took car to another place. Replaced valve cover gaskets, oil pressure switch, front cam seals. Shop ran car at idle for an hour, no leaks.
Car still leaks. Oil pan dripping. Under carriage soaked.
Second shop says maybe it's the aluminum oil pan. Does this sound right? Sounds to me like a pressure problem... Oil pump?
Please if anyone can help, reply.
