So anyway, I bought the yellow Sentra for a couple of reasons.

One was so I could park the SVT and work on it without having to put it all back together at the end of the day. Other, lesser reason, was to stop putting loads of miles on the SVT since it breaks so easily.

Anyway, I take the Sentra to Berlin and Hamburg for a 9 day vacation, and come back to this:

Oil is all dried up too, so must have happend shortly after I left. I don't even want to know what is is, but I have a suspicion that it's the connection at the pan for the old S/C lines that has been dripping for a while and must have finally gave up in turn, dumping most of the pan.

Guess when I get the 2nd shipment of parts from Bill J, I'll pull the pan and fix this leak.

Kane, at least it didn't let go when you were driving it! And your "replacement" it lots nicer than any rental, right. But sorry to hear about your troubles. Good luck fixing it.

Double check the oil filter. This happen to me a few weeks ago(not that amount) w/ the oil filter loose. As soon as I tighten it up, no more leak.

But if its something w/ the oil pan, good luck cause thats a messy job.

I'll check the filter, but I already know where my drip was coming from (the oil cooler lines for the Vortech), so I'm assuming it was them just letting loose finally.

And yes, I am really glad I decided to get another car rather than driving this to Berlin and Hamburg (ended up being a 2000km trip).
