I got it loose! Good old fashioned brute force.

Hi! I cannot for the life of me get this connection undone! It’s the connection from the rubber hose coming from the compressor to the drier can. I replaced the orifice tube thing and I thought I’d do the drier. Well, dang it. It won’t budge! Do y’all have any tips to get that connection undone? Wou...

Is there an o-ring or anything for this tube? It looks like oil might be leaking out there instead of the front cam seal. And is there an oil catch attached to the block I should replace? My flame trap was replaced but I still have smoke coming out of the dipstick. Sorry - I know I’m being a pest on...

I did the flame trap, but I’m still getting smoke out the dipstick. I was thinking of doing the oil catcher/separator/box. Will I have to remove the intake manifold to do it, or can I just remove the alternator and PS pump? Also, I think the big leak is coming from the front can seals. Lots of oil c...

Unless I dump some money at a shop, my wagon just may leak oil from that spot.

When I get a moment, I’ll also tighten the oil pan bolts.

I don’t have a turbo. But I’ll be gentle, anyway. It hasn’t been above 3.5K since I’ve been driving it. Mostly because I’m afraid. Haha I don’t think I’ll be able to knock that job out since I don’t have a locking tool nor do I have time to pull the engine. There’s not a lot of room back there with ...

I did the glove test, and it was inflating pretty steadily. I also pulled the dipstick, and smoke was coming out. I went ahead and ordered a flame trap kit and a new oil cap.

I meant the big ol’ metal valve cover. Usually there’s a gasket there. Can I replace this one? I read somewhere it’s a permanently sealed spot. The filter is on just right! No worries there. I’ll research the glove test. Not quite sure what that is. Also, belly pans: do the V90s have them? The under...

Hey all, I have two spots below my engine. One is roughly in line with the front of the engine, and the other is in the middle. The car is leaking oil pretty heavily - it is leaving spots wherever it sits. They started appearing after about 500 miles. I have a burning oil smell with the engine runni...

I think it’s toast, too

:/

I’ll keep trying until then! To include an overnight stay in the garage.
