Oil Leak ... Cant figured out from where

[Heart_Break_Kid]

Hey Guys!!!

I recently changed my engine oil from Toyota Phetron to Zic A+ on this sunday, from that day till now I can see oil spot in the ground where ever I park, even after half hour of parking I can see two three drops of oil in the ground... I can't trace from where its leaking as drain nut is little bit oilly but oil spot on the ground is 3 cm left from the drain nut.. can any one help me with that....

Thanks

Check the drain nut again it should not be even bit oily, and give a good look to gear oil drain area.

a lil pictorial reference will assist more for suggestion else visit a technical concerns

check your oil filter sometimes it doesnt fit properly

degrease the whole engine and then look for leaks, oil leaks can be from a bad sump plug washer or even a leaking oil filter. If its the sealing washer then buy a few copper ones and reuse them by annealing them for the next use (get a denter to heat them orange hot and let them cool down - they would be perfectly soft again for the next use.

The correct technique to remove and install the oil filter in a cuore is to remove the front number plate and base (if necessary) and reach through that hole for the filter - buy a claw type tool or buy the exact oil filter size tool that you can use with an extension and ratchet.

Do not let the goofball mechanic or chota try to wrestle it with a rope wound on it or a chain tool being reached from the top of the engine.

get a new copper washer of your bolt size, drain oil into a clean container, use a file to smooth the sump surface where the bolt flange sits.

install bolt with new copper washer - tighten to recommended torque, loosen, tighten loosen and tighten again - It wont leak.

For future use - buy 2 of such washers so you always have one ready to use - dont throw away the old one - they are reusable forever - just heat them with a welding torch and allow to cool down - done-ready
