Found some interesting things going on underneath my car....

Post by keir »

Looking up at it while it was on the lift I noticed what looks to be an oil leak coming from the area where the cat converter flex pipe connects to the engine,anyone have a clue on this?.....I also saw a broken sway bar link on the passenger side and I have no idea how long it's been broken.

Could be leaking valve cover gaskets, or oil pressure sensor.

Thanks for the reply.I was wondering if maybe I didn't give enough information.The items you mentioned,would I be able to look into them or if not,are they costly fixes to deal with?

Depends on where you take it to have it done, if you can do it then the valve cover gaskets will cost about 40 bucks or less the sensor im not sure on prices, but if you can turn a wrench i would DIY it!
