alright my recently built lsvtec has been losing oil for awhile. Problaby 1/2qt every 2 weeks or so.I just thought it was my ls dizzy dripping. Last night i took it for a long 30 mile drive at 4-4.5k rpms all the way there. It reaked of oil inside the car and my friend behind me said he could smell fresh oil all in his car too. I had just changed my oil that day! what could it be?
unfortunately i couldnt afford a type r oil pump at the time so put the the oil pump that was already on the previous lsvtec. It was an ls oil pump but my friend/builder said he had ''shimmed'' it so it would flow better. I already bught a type r oil pump so thats what i'm gonna change when i take the motor out again.
should i check the bearings as well? anything else i sould look out for? all the seals are new from top to bottom of the motor. weird
