Oil Leak

[BC3I]

so i was changing my oil and found a nice little leak by my AC compressor..but i can't tell if thats where it is coming from..and mazda want $90 to check the AC for a leak. any sugestions?

 

[tsunami]

is there an engine mount near there? they are liquid filled and could be what you see leaking...??

 

[BC3I]

it could be but it seems a little excessive to be a mount

 

[tsunami]

you think the ac is leaking??? sounds kinda strange but could happen... is there a coolent line going through the area? do you know what the fluid leaking is?

 

[Je5ter]

I dont get this..Why would they want 90 bucks? Is this not warranty??

 

[BC3I]

because of my pullies...and its oil alright....i just can't get far enough into it today to see where its at.

 

[tsunami]

damn aftermarket parts... you did clean it up and check again to make sure it is a leak?

 

[BC3I]

i cleaned it up and i will see in the morning if it continues to leak.

 

[BC3I]

well it doesn't seem to be leaking anymore...but i am still a little skeptical...so i will check again after work

theres no coolant lines that run down there, the only thing is the lines goin into the ac compressor. However the oil pan only has some grey silicone stuff sealing it up. Have u done the balance shaft removal yet? if so maybe it wasnt sealed back up all the way. better watch it tho if it is oil, run it too long without oil and you'll blow the motor (trust me i know lol).
