Minor Oil Leak Question - 1990 SPG Posted by Randy Thatcher [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Well, buying a car without a mechanic checkout is coming to haunt me again. I buy from a Saab indy and think I can trust the guy. Well he did the head gasket work, then the front cover gasket leaks. He fixes it, and all seems well. So tonight I'm underneath trying to size up the situation for flushing and coverting transmission oil, and what do I find? The damned gasket has an ever so slight leak. The pipe at the bottom of the turbo has some oil, too.
So, how bad is this? Is it a ticking timebomb? What can I do? Should I just torque down the bolt on the turbo a bit? Any gasket or seals for the turbo? What about the leak on the block? Live with it? Tighten? Have it worked on?
