[MP5]

MP5 Oil leak Inspection for dummies 101-The easy way is to shampoo the engine, pressure wash it so its sparkling clean...drive it till it leaks again and look for it and trace where its coming from. It's not that hard man. Hope this helps :thumbsup:

[MP5]

[MP5]

alright thanks man! ill give it a shot!

First thing to check would be the oil pan plug, lots of 8/hr oil jockeys dont tighten it good enough.

Put a piece of cardboard underneath it and look where the splash is. Sometimes it's hard to track down a leak when the oil is sprayed everywhere.

pricing? and stuff?
