Hello;


Doing some routine cleaning of engine (yes, I'm that OCD) and noticed this

The black plastic cover? thingy is covered with oil? car is fine, no issues whatsoever over. no leaking anywhere as far as i can tell. thanks!

better picture (not my car) of item in question

OKB

no leak is normal

That area is just below the oil filter housing. Might have spilled oil removing the oil filter. I would clean it and see if it comes back.

ugh thanks fellas

i'll take it in to the dealer :/

That looks really familiar.....

Edit:

Looks like it's the fuel pump leaking it's lubricating oil:

What exhaust is that? Those welds look home made in the pics.

sounds great, quality can be better indeed. had some minor installation issues with it too.

i'd still recommend them though, great bang for the buck system.

neurotic

good news!

no leak anywhere, everything is tight. oil was a result from the recent oil change! phew

That'll be $200 for the diagnostic fee! I thought dealers did better oil changes than DIYers...

Not. Neither Silver nor Gold Technicians do oil changes. They give it to the newbie or car washer to do it.
