One job turned into a few......

Post by Theredone » Thu Dec 19, 2013 4:38 pm

Got my coilovers for the car so put it on my ramp and lifted it up noticed a very slight oil leak residue on the top oil cooler pipe touched it and out came more oil, ordered pipe removed bumper to do the pipe and thought hmmmm cold feed time ! so ended up removing aux rad and doing the mod, took wheels off ready for coilover fitting and ended up ordering 4 tyres and now doing oil change brake fluid change coolant drain and refill and spark plugs

its been an expensive day............. :redrs4:

Lucky that you discovered the oil leak just in time.
