GeneralDisorder Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Valve covers, and the oil pan gasket. Same as EA81's actually.... do em up with high temp RTV, and they won't leak..... for a while. As for the drain plug - get a new metal crush gasket every few times you change the oil. They are cheap, and I usually buy 10 or 20 at a time....

Turbone Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Oil pump gasket is another leaker. If the car has alot of miles on it, it might be a good idea to put a gasket set/seal on the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenTBK Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 The common spots that I've learned about in the short time I've owned by Sub are the oil pump gasket, and the front crank seal. I know of those cause thats what I'm going to be replacing tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
