Hi Fellow S4 Riders,

 

I'm having an engine oil leak problem. I'm suspecting gasket problem, or O ring perhaps. Anyone out the who might know how much it'll cost me to fix it?

 

I'm riding a Vtec 2.

 

Thank you in advance!

You just have to push it up realllllllllllly hard. The grip of the guard is very tight. Try not to pry it as they are quite soft and it could leave marks on them.

Hi Moralez, thank you for the reply. Yes, I'm pretty sure it is engine oil from the looks of it. I can't pinpoint the exact location but could it traced to the top part of the engine on the inside.

 

Sigh... Hope it doesn't cost a bomb.

If it cost more than $130 to do by hardware replacement..there are other option using liquid engineering which help seal blown gasket. PM me for more info.

Hi,anyone used STP oil additive before. What are the feedbacks? Can it be use for motrcycles?

[xstorm]

Is the loss of coolant one of the symptoms of a blown head gasket ?

Hello Guys,

 

I'm new and have begun riding spec3 not too long ago.

Recently i noticed a leaked and not sure what it could be. The liquid is a little clear and look somewhat oily.

The thing is the leak is inconsistent. Sometimes it happen, sometimes it doesn't for about 2 weeks so far.

Can anyone advice me?

It's your coolant pump leaking.

Hi guys, been having a small issue for awhile now..

Recently I noticed my temp is higher than normal.

 

I've changed my water pump due to leaking not long ago, and I've been constantly sticking to toyota coolant & liquimoly coolant without issue.

 

Its only recently it seems to get hotter than usual...

 

My radiator fan is working, & my coolant level is adequate..

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.. thanks everyone

If you had changed pump before..likely it was due to rusting. Perhaps your radiator flow tubing is constrain by previous rusting and perhaps your thermostat is partially block or jammed.

I've flushed it a few days ago.. so could it be more likely that the thermostat is the faulty component?

How to tell if its partially blocked or jammed?
