My car leaks oil. It's not the drain plug and it's not the oil pan. I changed the oil pressure switch and it still leaks oil. The oil sending unit was replaced and so was the main oil seal. Is there anyone here from Atlanta that can look at my car and tell me where it's leaking from? I'm in N Atlanta.

I'm not going to go to any dealership or shop. This car has been touched by a few mechanics before I got it and they ****ed up the car worse then it was before they fixed it.

 

What kind of car is it?

 

97 Maxima. I can travel anywhere in the Atlanta area.

 

Valve cover, especially the rear?

 

If it's not the valve cover, check out the timing chain cover.

 

I didn't even look at the valve cover. I'll look today.
It is the valve cover. Does anyone know where I can look at a write up on how to change the gasket or gaskets? It's not hard but I want to make sure before I do anything.

 

fsm would be a great help to you.

In short you just need to remove the upper plenum to get to the valve cover, and replace the gasket and re-apply new rtv sealant.

but there are many steps to take, make sure you know where goes where and what you do with the nuts and bolts you take off.

 

My friend and I have been working on this for a while. Guess you can call us noobz or whatever, but we are trying to find a suitable place to put our wire through the firewall. It's a '94 Maxima. We don't want to have to drill through th fire wall unless we have to. If anyone has a system in a 94 Maxima could possibly help us out by telling us what you did to install it or send a picture so we can see where you put it thorugh? Thanks.

 

Nice job posting in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with your problem..

 

If you can't find a suitable grommet, you very well may have to drill. Sometimes it cannot be avoided. Checkout www.caraudioforum.com, they have many weelqualified experts, and I am there as well.

 

Technically it does. I'm having a problem with my car. I can't get the audio I want to sound good not to mention I can't post a thread yet with the new posting system they have up and this is the closet thing I could fine to that. Suggestion please don't try and put you're two cents in where not needed. If you can't help then that's all you have to say. Not try to riddicule other people who are having problems "with there car".
