Re: Oil seeping from the head gasket of my 1999 9-3 Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:03:54 In Reply to: Oil seeping from the head gasket of my 1999 9-3, Ashley, Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:09:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It's better if you post on the NG900/OG9-3 board.
As said, the 97-99 B204 engines had problems with loose head bolts of wrong quality as did also the 00-01 B205/235 engines up to a certain VIN.
I always start with replacing the head bolts and retorquing the head gasket to see where that takes it.
If the leak has been going on for too long it might not help but is the least expensive thing to try short of replacing the head gasket and bolts.
