Evo IV - Oil leak

[Pieter Bos]

Hi,

i just discovered a little oil leak on my car, i just don't know where it comes from. Does anybody know if the evo 4 engine has a couple of weak spots that leak more often?

Thanks,
Pieter

Have you checked the oil filter to ensure it is tight???

Yes i have. Yesterday i cleaned everything, removed al the oil so i could check where it's coming from. But i could't, there are just a couple a drups hanging on that tube(what does it belong to?) and the oilfilter stayed clean...

You need to check the tube and see where it is falling down from directly above it. Perhaps it may well be the oil pressure switch.

The best bet will be to get the car onto a ramp unless you can get underneath it with a bright torch to see where it is trickling down from.

Does the oil drip faster when the car is started???
