newbatplay Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hey fellow SAUers, I have a R33 GTST series 2 and if you look at the picture below, its leaking what appears to be engine oil (only reason why I say that is because the colour of the substance is blackish) Is this just a matter of changing the rubber seal, and if so, can someone please shed some light on: > the technical name for the part (I didn't know what term to google/SAU search it under and I appologise if I have reposted this problem) > Do I need to go back to Nissan for an OEM replacement or will an aftermarket one do (justjap/autobarn?) > Is a DIY replacement relatively easy. It appears to be Or do I have a bigger problem on my hand? Is it normal to have engine oil filtering through the manifold in the first place? I am relatively new to the Skyline world and it has been an amazing experience thus far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

OYEAHA Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Is that clamp tight ? There shouldn't be a large amount of oil coming from your piping ! Unless you have a blow-by issue or leaking turbo seal ? If you remove that elbow pipe and it has a large amount of oil in it you may have a bigger issue Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397779-assistance-please-something-is-leaking-have-pics/#findComment-6315138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad082 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 the oil leaking from there is a sign that you have had (or do have) some type of blowby issue. it may simply be that the car had an issue in the past and there is still just oil left in the intake pipe.

newbatplay Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks for the info guys, I will remove the intake pipe and take a photo and report back. The clamp was actually really really loose. Can't belive I overlooked that possibility =\ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397779-assistance-please-something-is-leaking-have-pics/#findComment-6316234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
