I've got a minor oil leak up top. I can see oil in the valley. It drains down the back. A drop a night, just enough to tick me off.

My plan is to tighten the HP lines and check the galley plugs before taking it in for warranty work. Anybody had any problems with high pressure pumps failing around 30k

Any other suggestions welcome. Where else could it come from?

Thanks.

 

I had some minor oil leaks in mine also. First go and tighten all clamps on your intercooler lines then the manifold lines (the orange ones going into the valve cover plenums). I would stop there. I would then degrease the valley of the engine using a spray on mild degreaser like Simple Green. You can hose off the engine with a light water pressure, then blow dry with compressed air....and do what I do, I let it run for 15 minutes or so to heat things up and dry them off. If you choose to tighten your hp oil lines just keep in mind not to crank them down too tight. These are o-ring seals and don't require massive tightening. BTW the hp oil lin conections are snap lock and don't come partially lose. They are either on or off.....and when they are off you will know it. They don't leak too often. But going back a bit, clean the valley then look around the hp oil lines to see if they are weeping. And lastly, if you do need to go in for warranty, make sure the engine valley is full of oil, or they will not be able to find a leak. They may want to put a dye in the oil to help them. I am confidant it is something minor.
