90' Cutlass Oil leak prob. little help???
 

i got a 90' cutlass for a beater last year. it has the 2.5l tbi engine. it started to leak oil from what seems like the timing cover. i know someone has to have had one of these before with a similar problem. i'm not sure if it is the timing cover gasket, or the main seal. i have yet to get it all apart, i'm inside warming up. its ------ 20 degrees outside.
thanks for any info

What kind of cutlass?

not alot of info but I have done front seals on those, get a speedy sleeve for the balancer just in case its groved up. I do suggest you wash it all up and see if thats the real leak or not.

It can only be the timing cover gasket or front crank seal, take the cover off and see. The front seal is in back of the timing cover.

Are you kidding me?

holy ----, maybe you can hold your moms purse while she gives it a try.

Re: 90' Cutlass Oil leak prob. little help???
 

uh...no why would i be?

holy ----, maybe you can SHUT THE ---- UP, and not post here if you don't have anything to contribute.



i got the damn a/c belt off and ----, now i'm to the crank pully nut. i just sprayed it, so i'm gonna let it sit a bit.
will i do any damage if i use a impact to get that off? i've heard that is could possibly ---- up your bearings. any truth to that?

Why the hell would you ask what size a bolt is instead of just looking at it yourself? :1
