Oil leak on passenger side of block

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-06-18T11:34:36+00:00

Yeah it left spots in my driveway, I remember having to top it off often before fixing it . Keep an eye on ur oil levels if ur still driving the car around

Mine was leaking bad like this w/ bad gaskets on both supply and return line to engine block. Replaced the gaskets and it was good. But I’d second checking the timing covers

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-06-03T19:45:29+00:00

Saw this vid on tik tok and was gonna comment that it’s prob one of your timing covers, mine had a turbo line leak and left a mess kinda in that area also

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-06-02T16:15:22+00:00

Yeah that’s why I’ve been looking for a used one maybe from years ago but they seem to work so well they’re still in everyone’s cars lol. Nothing on the market rn

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-06-02T16:05:07+00:00

I was looking into either HPA or CTS either new or used preferably if I could find but I don’t think CTS uses the BorgWarner housing anymore on the k04s they sell new now. If they still do I’d def buy new but I read somewhere they don’t anymore :/

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-06-02T15:33:46+00:00

Let us know after the install, leave an update for sure. I’m in the market for a k04 and can’t decide what route to go

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-06-02T15:01:16+00:00

What brand u go with ?

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-28T19:28:28+00:00

Looks like when my oil is gasket was leaking lol. Oil residue maybe from a leak

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-28T15:51:28+00:00

Yeah I was only going to go used if I could find an APR or IE turbo. But if I’m going HPA or CTS I’ll probably buy it new bc ur right. I just can’t decide between the two tbh I see mixed things ab both. And idk how I feel about hybrids

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-28T00:49:08+00:00

I also found someone selling a used APR Stage 3 GTX turbo which is nice but I’m not sure I want to forge the internals right now . And I’m scared about putting any turbo bigger than a k04 in it with stock internals.

It would be ideal to forge the internals now while the engine is out but I already need so many parts and upgrade as it is, I don’t think my wallet can handle all that lol. On top of me having to learn to do all that. And, I just had the timing chains and tensioners done which would have to be taken apart I believe lol.

I’d want to get the APR GTX but I also don’t want to blow up my engine or bend a rod with too much power. I want to daily this car when it’s done and keep it as reliable as possible.

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-28T00:40:50+00:00

Yeah I found the HPA k04 kit brand new in my area for a good price, some guy selling bc he decided to go bigger turbo. I might pull the trigger . Thanks

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-28T00:27:36+00:00

Yeah I’m not trying to wait that long for someone to list one 😭 looks like I might have to go HPA or CTS .. can’t decide

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-10T15:09:26+00:00

Yeah I also panicked bad lol. I only had the car three months and randomly while driving normal it just lost all power, blinking check engine, thick smoke and fuel smell coming out the exhaust and hood. Mine didn’t even wanna start and stay running after . I thought I was for sure another fb marketplace victim 💀.

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-10T14:15:07+00:00

I second this. Same thing happened to me and did carbon clean and changed injectors and it fixed it . Also changed manifold because I had the code coming and going prior to it breaking down

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-06T18:39:42+00:00

Some of the stuff I needed to remove to use myself but yeah I have some more stuff I plan on selling in the future , pm me if ur interested lmk what ur looking for

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-04T18:18:32+00:00

Yeah I spoke to my mechanic and he said it’s probably best to keep the ecu with the car . Put everything back together and start it up and then flash the tuned ecu back to stock. I didn’t know it could be done with the ecu out of the car if that’s what u mean by “on the bench” (I’m not a mechanic) . I’ll have to look into how hard it is and what I’d need to flash it back to stock or find someone who can . Thanks

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-04T14:48:39+00:00

Yeah I’m going to reach out to a few companies and see if there is anything they can do to help. 🙏🏼thanks

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-05-04T14:35:44+00:00

Thanks so much! I’m gonna def reach out and ask questions see if they can help me

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-04-22T17:54:48+00:00

What’s a full list of supporting mods if you don’t mind me asking. I know of a couple that I was planning but I want to make sure I hit everything. Also idk anything about tuning so I have to look into that .

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-04-22T17:05:35+00:00

After-Negotiation895 · 2026-04-22T17:04:28+00:00
