When I got it all back together and filled up with oil again, it started leaking heavily when I started the car. Anyone had this problem? Looks like Im going to have to do it over again. __________________ -PTS- "Some people like cupcakes better.

It looks like it is coming from the top where the bush is. Maybe I didn't push it all the way in. It is literally pouring out. __________________ -PTS- "Some people like cupcakes better.

Maybe you put it in backwards and it is flowing the wrong way. That sucks man, its a pita just doing it once, I feel for you. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 08-08-2010, 12:29 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Atlanta Posts: 233 | It's Bush's fault. Got it apart again, I pinched to oring in beteen the block and the housling and busted it. Damn! __________________ -PTS- "Some people like cupcakes better.

Im thinking I must be low on oil/coolant (did the plastic coolant pipe while I was in there) __________________ -PTS- "Some people like cupcakes better.

Not a night passes when working on a big car job that I do not worry about this very issue. I truly do feel for you, and hope that you resolve your problems soon! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
