Default oil leak!
ok i just got my fresh Y8 put in and i have an oil leak. the engine has 200 miles on it. i don't know what seal went. it's not a huge leak but i don't want to boost my car with it leaking.



u can see how the oil come out from the lower timing cover and slowly drips down my oil pan. what seal could this be? and would it be hard to fix?

also since i had an engine shop put my engine together and it only has 200 miles would they have to take care of it?

where do you find a y8 motor with 200 miles ? even if it was a 2000, 200 miles in 7 years? i doubt it.

but yeah main seal.

no the engine has all new seals. that's what i don't get.
could it be because it's a y8 block and a z6 crank?
