ericem Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hey guys. I thought it was my valve covers leaking, but it doesn't seem like it. The motor oil is still full and the oil is coming from much lower. Anything else that usually leaks and causes a bit of smoke on the passenger side?

bratman18 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Is your pass side cv boot broken? That would spray grease on the cat and make it smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hmm, doesn't look to be broken the boot. Going to recheck maybe there is a fine leak from the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericem Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 It's a EJ22T turbo motor. Looks like it is the valve covers still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 How many miles. It may just be time to reseal the engine. If its the valve covers replace them and the spark plug grommits with parts from subaru. the aftermarket parts dont hold up. And if oil is on your wires, change those too. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car has 190,000km which is like low 100k miles. Looks like I need to repair a leak on my power steering pump, and my valve covers. Seal hit with the gromets for the bolts is $30 for both sides woot! I got a rebuild kit for the power steering pump as well has all the seals.

bheinen74 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 power steering seal (at the rack hose) goes bad at 125k on all my subies. most other seals too i will say this: if it aint leaking dont mess with the seal, you will just cause a leak if its leaking, better fix the thing soon and leave all other alone my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
