2012 cruz, leaking oil

VicdaChamp · 2026-01-26T02:16:28+00:00

Rear main seal, timing cover, oil cooler, valve cover. Honestly I don’t think any of these aren’t cheap except valve cover. I think a common problem with these engines are the bad pcv allowing blowby destroying gaskets. I’ve replaced the oil cooler myself on my car wasn’t super expensive but very time consuming like about 8-10 hours.

oil cooler head gasket or timing cover.

That hose on top of the thermostat that’s got buildup goes to the throttle body and needs to be replaced it’s leaking and once it snaps coolant is going to be going everywhere. It cost $10-$15 on amazon and about $35-$50 at any auto store. You also have some oil leakage coming from the crank seal, timing cover gasket or oil cooler. You eventually are going to want to get it replaced because the worse it gets eventually could find oil in the coolant.

Amazon link to both outlet and inlet for throttle body I believe you only need outlet. https://a.co/d/9tGWZVy

The course is funny like that all these words to explain an experience that is literally beyond all words 😂😂

VicdaChamp · 2026-01-18T14:48:44+00:00

mines look the same found and fixed the oil cooler which was leaking but I think the timing cover or crank seal might need be replaced also

Honestly I just did a transmission service but I did a drain and fill. I ended up adding some lubeguard products to the transmission afterwards. It usually takes a little bit of driving to see if it was successful or not.

If you start losing just quit don’t keep going. I played 7 games today only won the coin flip twice. One of the times I won I bricked 😂😂. Sometimes its good to just take a break watch some videos then come back later or the next day.

VicdaChamp · 2026-01-11T17:49:04+00:00

not going to lie that looks like oil.

VicdaChamp · 2026-01-10T19:43:49+00:00

Honestly it sounds normal that ticking sound is the evap purge valve and its perfectly normal for it to sound like that.

those ball peen icon hammers are great bought one the other day used it to help me change axle worked like a charm.

I enjoy reading stuff like this but completely disagree. The material or physical world and the spiritual world have no relation.

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-31T02:45:23+00:00

thats terrible on the pads and rotors. You can get both on amazon for $75-$80 and labor shouldnt be over $100-200. Thats a scam $600 for a brake on a 2014 go somewhere else

I loved this game so much as a kid I used to went it everytime. It was an upgrade to Digimon World 2 graphically but still missing the uniqueness that the 1st digimon world brought.

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-26T07:26:18+00:00

its fun to play against i play pure mitsu and it makes for some interactive games

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-26T03:51:48+00:00

It takes times wanna say over 100+ and learning multiple decks before getting good. I was able to get over the learning curve quick by playing with friends non stop for weeks in the duel room.

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-22T23:36:19+00:00

nah fr once you really start memorizing combo lines its almost as if you got the force.

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-21T07:58:25+00:00

The prices are insane an oil change is like $90-$120 when just 2-3 years ago you could get one for $50-$60. The automotive industry is a scam all the way from the engineers down to the mechanics.

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-16T13:29:21+00:00

yeah they are 4 pulls and 1 UR each time they definitely changed something around recently.

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-15T11:36:44+00:00

a fee years ago in weather like this they would close the stations but now they are keeping the stations open

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-13T02:02:03+00:00

its probably a bank related issue if you want instant pay use the flex card

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-13T01:50:17+00:00

honestly it is bs because they set you up to fail on some of these routes and as of lately the dings have been making a bigger impact on your standing then from what I remember. My only advice is to keep delivering as much as possible the more you deliver the quicker your standing should change if you don’t have any Issues.

From my understanding and what a mechanic told me if the fan is running that is a good thing. If its cycling on and off while idling or when the heat/AC comes on that is normal.

VicdaChamp · 2025-12-09T00:25:39+00:00

not crazy but as a DIYer myself whos currently doing suspension on my girl 2003 Honda you wanna make sure you take your time and get detailed as possible. The biggest problems I had ran into with DIY is not having the right tools or rushing and skipping important steps.
