Thank you for the info on the oil leak! Thanks!!! I guess I will have to find someone with a smart phone to get the noise on the internet, or is there another way?. It is a real weird whining noise, starts at 1800rpm and only if you really push it. One friend thinks the noise is a front input shaft bearing in the 5 speed, I hope he is wrong. It is a high pitched whine rather than a growl.
If you look under your hood, near the back of the engine, there is this part that looks like two large circles sitting beside each other. They have pipes going into and out of each of them. On side is all rusty, the other is metal grey. That is the source of the "whine."
It is not the normal turbo whistle. It only makes the noise under a HARD acceleration. I figured out how to record it with my wife's camera. When I get a chance, I will record the sound, it is really weird.
While I was fixing the crankase vent, I noticed one of the intercooler pipes was leaking slightly also. I took the cover off the shifter stick and will make a recording of the noise on sunday. I hope someone can ID it!!!
