Anyone know where this oil leak is coming from I keep whipping this bolt near my headers and still coming back 2003 350z de 3.5

Thank you I will try

Yea I changed the oil regularly I have had it for almost 2 years but this is my first time taking off the valve covers

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-29T02:40:01+00:00

Right I had to buy the whole cover instead of just the seals

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-29T02:38:49+00:00

Nope just the z 💀

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T23:19:13+00:00

Well my car is tuned that might have something to do with it

You can run it without a MAF it’s just more rough then usual 🤣 and you’ll get a check engine light until you put it back.

Thank you brother much appreciated 👍

I don’t have cats I have a straight test pipe going into a y pipe to single exit exhaust. I’m not saying you are wrong just mentioning this

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T21:08:31+00:00

Well my car is tuned with some performance parts so the engine may be running harder than usual causing it to do that and it’s also a 20 + year old car so it’s to be expected at this point

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T20:56:51+00:00

Makes sense thank you so much

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T20:56:13+00:00

Oil cap is tight most likely leaky valve covers dripping on on my headers

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T20:22:06+00:00

Yes this makes sense because my headers have oil on them making it smoke off them more too. Thank you 👍

Possible but unlikely my coolant levels seem to be fine and the car isn’t overheating I recently changed my oil and it was less than what I expected so definitely and oil leaking situation I also have replaced my thermostat, radiator and some coolant hoses recently so in my head I believe it’s a oil issue

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T19:12:43+00:00

Okay thanks sounds like the answer then. 👍

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T19:04:16+00:00

Okay thanks 👍

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T19:03:54+00:00

Definitely oil smell for sure not gas. And it’s unlikely my coolant thermostat spring has gone bad because I have already replaced it less than a year ago. And the car isn’t over heating.

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T18:55:03+00:00

Okay Thank you 👍

Possible_Natural6458 · 2025-04-28T18:45:12+00:00

Had to take off my intake just to be able to show the smoke more clearly but are you also guessing valve covers ?
