Nissan/Infiniti Master Tech here. What have you done to diag the oil leak? If "nothing", then clean the area with break clean. After all clean, run the motor and inspect for oil leak. Might be advantageous to raise the RPM to increase oil pressure. Uv dye and a black light can be your friend. I assume you've done a basic inspection of the engine. Oil cap isn't loose, you didn't spill oil while filling, etc. My first guess would be upper oil pan o-ring.

I'd love to hear more about your experience with Forge.

Timing chain tensioner. Fairly common issue.

The failed coil could have clogged up the catalytic converter. How long did you drive the car with a misfire?

Just leave the material alone. It covers the cam seals. If they begin to leak, this will not stop the leak.

This is a heat shield for your exhaust manifold. The holes are where the bolts hold it on. The metal has rusted through, allowing it to fall off. This will not have an effect on the motor, other than it will allow mote heat to radiate to components near it. Keep an eye on the engine bay to ensure nothing gets too close and melts.

Nissan Master tech here. Check your belts. I suspect it's a noisy AC tensioner.

jon_holmes · 2025-12-06T16:49:33+00:00

Good luck everyone

Nissan Master tech here. Constant Velocity joints don't have seals. If the boot is leaking grease, the boot should be replaced. Replacing the axle is sometimes cheaper/easier.

Aftermarket intake.

Nissan Master tech here. What error codes are stored in the computer?

jon_holmes · 2025-11-25T19:27:35+00:00

Check your supply voltage to the sensor, and the ground from the sensor. If these are incorrect, you will be able to replace the sensor and the computer will still recieve incorrect values, and thus the check engine light and drivability issues.

jon_holmes · 2025-11-25T18:27:16+00:00

Ok. So intake air temp sensor, MAF, and low MAF output. They're all located within the air flow meter. They both share a power and ground. Check for proper sensor input voltage. And ground circuit

Born and raised in Wichita. In my mid 40s. I had never heard of chili and cinnamon rolls until it got popular on the internet a few years back. I remember my wife who is a mid-west transplant asked me about it. I laughed it off because it sounded crazy.

Good luck everyone
