Oil drip
Hello everyone,
My 1995 has a tiny oil drip, so far it does not seem to be the drain plug or the oil filter, but that is exactly where the drip is coming from.
What is just above this area that may be driping?
Main seal?
But, when i check the oil it never appears to be low.
Any ideas?
Mike

If I tell you for the last 10 years I have little drip that don't amount to anything cause sometimes it's on the floor, and other times it never drips. I not worried till it's good drip someone can find. I never loose oil.

Thats what mine was doing.Get a flashlight and look under the EGR for oil on the back of the motor.Intake manifolds like to weep oil a little in these cars as well.

You should replace them its not very costly for parts.EGR is a bit of a pain to remove to get to them.A mechanic will charge around 250 bucks to do it with parts cost included.If let go the pressure sensor could give false readings and may become an issue.
always something I know.If you can remove the EGR its a snap.
