    Hey all, I have a 2003 eclipse 3.0L Suddenly the car started leaking coolant and now it's leaking oil. I stopped driving it cuz I didn't have time to deal with the problem. That was about a month ago. Noticed a large pool of what appears to be oil and coolant mix on the ground all around the...

I took off the valve cover and easily removed the old seals but when i went to press in the new ones, they just wouldnt go in. Does anyone know if this can be done at home? Do i need to...

    Greetings, For awhile I have had a strong oil burning smell (even into the cab) and have had to add oil regularly (roughly a quart or more). Has anyone had this problem and what was the solution? I also wanted to know if it is the ream main seal, how many hours does it take to repair?

    I was checking my fluid levels last night and ran across this. It looks like a sensor on the trans that isn't hooked up. I see no spare cables/connectors to hook it up either. What is it? Do I need it? Yes, I know my engine bay is dirty. I see a lot of oil residue under/on the side of the front...

    I have a custom made clock pod gauge. It will still need some fabrication to make it look perfect, but it does look great in place of the clock. I bought it a year a go and never installed it, didn't have the time. Made out of think black plastic polyurathane. Includes three gauges with it...

    http://auto.howstuffworks.com/supercharger5.htm "Finally, no special shutdown procedure is required with superchargers.Because they are not lubricated by engine oil, they can be shut down normally.Turbochargers must idle for about 30 seconds or so prior to shutdown so the lubricating oil has a...

    I'm driving along on the freeway and give my car some gas (3.0 sds stage 3 (20psi)). I smell oil when I lay off of her and when I get home I pop the hood and see oil all over my engine bay. Just in the driver's side. All the lines for the sds and pump and dry. It seems like it came from over...

  15. GT/GTS
    Well my question is straight to the point, I am wondering how to fix a turbo if it is blowing oil. Would I need to replace the housing, or the oil lines or is it something totally different, or would I be able to ignore this and run boost reliably with this happening? I ask this because I am...

    I just spoke to Angelo about a few things I had concerns about with my new SDS'd car, one of them being the strange rattling/clacking coming from the blower. He said this is NOT the normal supercharger break-in sound, then he asked me what type of oil I used. When I told him Mobil-One, he told...
