2003.5 Blazin' Yellow Mazdaspeed Protege
I brought in my 03 msp to mazda today to recieve a 60k check up, plus an oil change. They told me that my oil was down to a quarter tank! apparently the oil is missing, they saw their was oil by my coolant, but they took it out and none was in it, just undernear it. They have no idea wear the leak is and said they saw no burning....... i also have noticed that my clutch has been slipping (probably has nothing to do with it) and i have slight turbo hesitation

anyone have problems like mine? Oil leaking at 60k or even thier clutch slipping. I don't beat the hell out of the car so don't know why the clutch would be shitting out on me.

thanks


ps. when do u think is a good milage to replace the msp's timing belt??
 
theres no way oil could get into your coolent tank, its like impossible. As far as your clutch issues, have you changed your tranny oil lately? Try giving that a shot. You might have not tied your oil filter on all the way last time you had your oil change or closed the drain plug all the way. Hesitation effects all MSP's. The ecu flash helps out quite a bit though by upping the timing. You lose a small amount of top end power but you gain a smoother power band and better fuel efficiency and much less hesitation. I hope this helps you out.
 
thanks a lot man, i'l check all the ideas u pointed out... its much appreciated (bowdown)
