  • R33 Minor Oil leak

    Hello, I've have had my Gtr for about 3 months now and it was brought to my attention that there is a leak from the Engine down to the tranny. I think its the Rocker covers from what I can see, But I'm not certain. The car seems to be retaining a large percentage of its oil but I would like to clean it up
    (As much as I like the smell)
    Does anyone know what gaskets I would buy to replace them? I couldn't find it in the forums or the R33 engine&maintenance manuals

    I will post some photo's tomorrow showing better detail of the area.
    Thanks , Darren .

        many of the site sponsors can help you. be careful when you put them in becuase there is a half moon shape at the back, i bought my car from someone who changed them and the half moon shape fell out/ went missing. which ended up when i took a hard few turns the oild eventually splashed out, i shoulda took that leak more seriously lol :hit newb:

          Go to Nissan dealer parts department and give them the chassis code on the blue id plate (located on firewall in engine bay) and tell them what your looking for (cam cover gaskets). They should be able to find part number, if they have Fast part program on computer.

          The cam cover gaskets on my cars engine has liquid sealent on front, rear. Also check the PCV valve condition, as that is what can overpressurise camcovers and cause oilleaks on cam cover gaskets.

            thx ! I'll check that out :-D sounds like I should take a good look at the PCV valve also and maybe re-route it or use a catch. What do you think about a setup like that ?
