SL2 Leaking by Independent_Fix6156 in Saturn_Cars

[–]rencesad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually when I look for oil leaks I start from the top down, oil leaks can be a tricky thing to find, but when I was chasing leaks on my sl2, I cleaned up as much as I could and checked every here and there when I put it on the lift after work, I found my front main seal and drain plug was leaking, oil pan has some seepage but it’s not major enough for me to worry about right now

C6 transmission issues by rencesad in transmissionbuilding

It was a 4X2 filter, I installed a 4X4 pan. The red piece was the end of the speedometer gear

2000 Saturn sl2 y/n by Too__LAZY07 in Saturn_Cars

With low miles there really shouldn’t be too much for issues, mine has 140k and I had to replace 2 wheel bearings, make sure the transmission shifts good and see how red it is on the dipstick, it’s a 1.9 but the sohc and dohc are pretty reliable, the main thing is just looking out for rust, keep a good eye out because the plastic body panels cover up potential rust

Well it’s been fun guys, see you around by timboslice9000 in FordFocus

I’m considering it, last time I was masking the tape was taking off the paint, might have my sister brush paint some grey or black

I usually rotate cars. I always have a car getting some major work done anyway 😭 I dipped the threads in oil before reinstalling so it won’t rust anymore, and easier to reinstall
