so i pushed my car out of the garage today and there is a large oil spot under it... and i know it came from my car...


what could this b cause from?

an oil leak perhaps..

check your oil pan tap. or the oil fittings to the turbo.
i adjusted my oil drain hose and noticed i forgot to put teflon tape on a fitting so i gotta take that out today
just clean everything. start the car and then see which fitting its leaking from. make sure ALL the fittings have teflon tape. its 99cents at any auto store. and easy to put on. its like white tape around the threads

lol thanks... could this oil leak b caused by a broken motor? when i say broken i mean like cracked block or something really bad like that

ya i never put teflon on nething... thanks man ill go check it out n let u know

its not going to be a cracked block
the worst WORST case would be when they tap'd you oil pan they F'd up and cracked it. which is their fault and need to pay for it

but just jack up the car. look at the HIGHEST point of where the oil seems to start showing up. could start at the turbo drain (botton of that middle piece of the turbo) could be your oil pressure line fittings
or the fittings to your oil pan

make sure you top it off again ... and did the shop mess with anything under neath?? if they did that could be why its all of a sudden leaking

all they were supposed to do is pierce the oil pan for the turbos oil lines

I wouldn't use teflon tape. I find that the threads are sharp enough to cut it and cause it to leak. I would use a pipe thread compound with teflon or something like permatex on the threads. You will need to clean the oil off the threads first.
