Oil and coolant leak question (pics) n63tu
'16 50i 58k miles
Noticed some oil on the engine and was going to take things apart and clean it up some to find where its leaking. When removing the air box I found what looks like oil in the intake hose (forgive me if thats not what its called), is the oil just getting in there from the leak next to the hose or is this a bigger problem I'm looking at? The oil is leaking right at the bottom of the oil fill tube where it meets the engine. It looks like just a couple bolts and replace a gasket right there? Surely it isn't that easy. pics below The coolant leak looks to be at that plastic "T" piece. I'm assuming replace that and the hoses around will be sufficient? |

oil in the intake tube happens from the pcv system
That plastic tee that is leaking can just be replaced with a brass 3/8 tee and 3 hose clamps. there's also a plastic Y fitting under the alternator (I think?) that could be leaking. Best bet would be to just get 2x 3/8 tee's and a 3/8 Y 9 hose clamps. the oil leaking near the oil filler neck, I can't really tell how much its leaking, mine is a little wet but doesn't leak to the point of dripping. |

Looks like Ill check on the PCV valve first and see if replacing it fixes the oil in intake problem...although one video I just watched said a little bit of oil isn't a problem. |
