FTO AUSTRALIA

Will do guys, thanks for confirming it bennoz, ill let you all know once after i clean it an take some pics, thanks for all the help guys

ok guys, i have just degrease the engine bay, the right side of the engine, the front (3 pipes), underneath, and any oil i can see, guess i just wait now for the oil to come

good stuff then we can tell you what prob is

Oil filter???

nar cant b oil filter, cause i can see some oil on the right side of the engine, we will all know the answer after a few days ^^

What three pipes you talking about? I thought you mean the exhaust manifold.

i think it is the exhaust manifold, the heads? theres 3 at the front an 3 at the back. but the oil filter isnt leakin

ok guys, just got some pics, the front and the right side of the engine i see no leak chase, but on driver side right under the engine theres still leak





This is the pic of where its dripping

Since where the leaking is under the engine, what can cause the leak?

Sump gasket.

big job to replace? have to remove the timing belt and stuff?

nah just remove sump load up with gasket go where it seals back up and all done

sorri for being noob, but how do they remove the sump and add the gasket+seals? like just lift the car up an do it from underneath or have to lift the engine up etc etc?
cause my mechanic said he never did an fto engine like that (when he said he needs to rip out the top/bottom of the engine) and will cost pricy for labour, do any of u guys in syd have a good mechanic (thats up to date) know about fto? an cost would be around?

well i wouldnt go to him.

relatively easy job just remove/seal/replace no need to remove heads or any internals for that matter

ill give him a call an tell him its to replace the sump gasket an seals, see what he says, if he says its a hard job, anyone has a mechanic with good knowledge about fto in sydney? thanks

pricy? their site seems very good, which means they charge a lot ROFL

Lol no there prices are good not over priced at all, and they only do what is needed to be done.
They won't tell you that the engine needs to be ripped apart if there is no need for it.

ok, i just sent them an email saying its probably the sump gasket leaking an needs replace, ill give them a call tomorrow, would i get treated better if i say AZA THE FTO told me to go there :):)

mate they treat every one the same way, but they know if a FTO rolls in 99% of the time I have sent them
but hay drop my name any way you never know

listen to aza mate .. he won't lead you astray

like he said, don't go back to that mechanic - anyone who starts talking about pulling apart the bottom end to fix an oil leak without even looking at it first is just dodgy IMO

you may not even need to take the sump apart & re-gasket-goo it.. could just be that the washer on the sump plug bolt hasn't been replaced the last time you had an oil change, or you could just take a stanley knife & cut away the excess old-goo, give it a degrease & re-apply gasket-goo externally
