Hey guys, im 17 years old and im studying to become an Auto technician, and i just recently bought a 1996 Volkswagen Passat GLX 5spd, and i have rebuilt the front end on it already due to a accident last summer, and bough the car for 400 dollars.
I have replaced the Oil Pan gasket already, because i have a massive oil leak, it was fine until about 2 days after the replacement was done, and now its leaking like a sive again..and i cant figure out where its coming from, it looks like it could be the crankshaft seal, or the PVC boot, but im not sure...its spitting oil out from the oil pan seal itself, and just wont stop..
- How can i fix this?
- Where could the oil be leaking from?
- I just want to get more information about this, and expand upon my knowledge of Volkswagens, before taking it to a shop to be replaced.
please i really need help with this, because i am car less as of now, and the Low Oil Lever light keeps coming on and making me mad, haha. just wondering what this could be from and if anyone has any suggestions i can do to stop this oil leak and get my car back to normal operating conditions so i have a car i can actually drive.
Thanks A lot, Matt
