Hi, When I removed my engine cover, I saw this part with oil. I would imagine this is not normal. I remember seeing this part here before but I cannot find it anymore. What do you call this part, and what do I need to do to stop the oil leak?

Cant remember the price but it was not expensive. Though I got another non oem brand. Rubber seems ok.

2013 GT

Got it. did not notice that. it seems i have to grease under the hardware plate as well if i am reading it correctly.

What other areas should I put a grease on? I did on the plates of the pads and a little on the tips that is touching the hardware plates

I was doing the same thing of checking if the side that had the noise was a bit warmer but does not seem to be. The first time i have re-lubed. i did remove the pads again to inspect and clean the back pads and grease them. That actually removed the sound for some time and came back again. Been...

Got it from rock auto. Will try this steps on the weekends and see. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have the pin with the rubber one in the bottom. That seems right?

Thanks everyone, I will try to replace the rubber and see how it goes. Can't just imagine what is making the sound. I do noticed when I put the lube last time that the caliper does not move back easily. It does after adding more lube.

I was using the sil glyde for the caliper pins and permatex copper on the pads. Just weird that it's only happening on one side.

I replaced both my front rotors and pads 3 months ago. After some time. I was hearing this crunch/grinding sound when braking on my passenger front side. I will only notice the noise after a bit of driving. Don't see any damage to the rotors. The Sound went away after I added some grease to the...

I was trying to remove the 2 bolts holding the bottom half of the air filter. Can't seem to remove it. It looks like when I was turning the bolt. the whole thing that was holding it was turning as well. i was trying to hold the bolt holder with a plier but it was too tight. any recommendations...

I see. So i dont need to remove anything of the top half. I though I need to remove the hose or map sensor to set it aside to have more space to remove the bottom out. Thanks!
