I was tightening my headers and removing my SAP this morning and while my hand was down there against the block I noticed a little tiny bit of oil on my finger.
I am not sure if its the head gasket or the vanos gasket. If it is the vanos gasket should I do the vanos repair kit while I already have it tore apart?
My oil filter housing gasket is leaking also and I have money at the moment so I am trying to get all the parts I need to fix it all in one weekend.
The shop said also oil pan gasket might be leaking.
And most of these parts are reasonably priced so I am trying to get all of them.
Just want to see what you guys think. I know many of you on here have probably replaced the parts that I have mentioned.
Not sure where exactly you were, but VCG is most likely source of oil leak on exhaust side.
If everything is apart and you haven't done CCV yet, this might be a good time too...but since you removed SAP, I have a feeling you'll just remove CCV too...maybe not!
If VCG, then vanos seals/gasket
Too late for you to confirm oil pan, but I hear it's a pretty good gasket, though if auto, it's a good time to replace fluid and filter.

What about me? What do I get? Thanks? Just thanks?
No Marissa picture; coupon for a black and tan?
What's the deal here guys? I thought everyone understood my motivations for being here?
BTW, it's time for another Furrie to come out already. Every fn one of you has a beagle, I know it...or dachshound (which is even grosser!). Just have out with it (no pics, Albeee...Drew! :lmao.
You'll feel better...and your dog can begin the healing.
the vanos seals are from Beisan systems only, I thought. The vanos sealing gasket sounds like it's the gasket between vanos and cylinder head...not what 'we' mean when we say vanos seals.
Search Beisan systems....it also has the best diy for doing vcg!
? You know, in real life, she doesn't have stars!:lmao: (quit moving my lmao mods! I've got an instinctive move to that smilie...you're messing up my game!):lmao:
