Hi I recently bought a srt6 with 80k miles from a insurance auction so yes it is a salvage but the reason why I bought it salvage is because the car only was salvaged because a tire blow and rip a part of the back bumper and side skirt other the that was fine and the price that I pay was just right below $4k so I had to take it home and fix it car it's been fixed repaint and running the only thing that I noticed since the car was on the insurance lot for a while to be exact they told me that was sitting there for almos 1 year and 8 months I notice a lot of oil all over the engine bay more in the front and some old oil residue on the valve covers I have no idea was done to this car before she got to the insurance lot and I noticed more oil in the front of the engine where the pullies are and it leaks a lil bet a drop maybe a day maybe less it's any leaking on any pullie normal and would this make the oil splash all over the engine I look by the head gasket it doesn't look like it's coming from there neither the valve covers so my guess was any bearing or seal on a pullie I used to have a n/a crossfire but never had this problem so any help will be appreciated thanks also is this common

 

Two words...

Punctuation marks. I ran out of oxygen by the time I got to line four.

Check your filler neck, bottom and top utilize a gasket. Mine was missing the top gasket, my engine to had oil residue everywhere. Both crank case covers need to be removed, cleaned, and resealed. Both covers have a vast amount of seepage. The Cross fires exterior/interior was phenomenal, however I'm pretty sure none of the previous owners paid much attention to under the hood.

 

Hey thanks for the advice and I would check what u mentioned it's sad that everybody looks the outside like it has to look good on the outside but what about the inside I think that's what It metters right? But we all just go by aperiance I guess people n cars thanks bro for the advice hopefully that's my problem.

 

Having a preponderance of oil residue on the front of the engine might indicate a damaged oil filter holder or leaking o-ring for it?

 

I check my oil filter and I saw oil but it looks like was old oil that someone probably spelt there so I clean it and check Oil leaks there and nothing since All the oil residue its old and it's been sitting there it's hard to see where the oil it's coming from but I'm going to clean my engine so I can go with a better direction from where the oil it's coming from like I said it's just a drop a day maybe.since the car it's not my daily it's sits in my garage with out me to star the car or take it for a spin for some days but thanks for the advice I would find the problem and ask for tips here thanks all

 

Yeah-I've heard that one mistake with the cap o-ring will spray oil all over. One wouldn't do that again!

 

Clean the engine with soap & hot water. Next buy some oil dye & a black light off amazon, run car until its hot.
You will see exactly were the oil leaks are.

 

Yes I did clean as much as I could and I bought a uv light with the oil dye and I took my car for a ride to heat it up and the came back to check for leaks and nothing It didn't leak at all after 2 days I noticed 2 drops of oil and I try to find where they came from and it look like they came from a pulley maybe a seal from the crank? Or some seal I'm thinking that since it don't leak everyday actually I drove the car 3 days ago for about 4 hrs and I check today and still no oil leak not even a drop so it's hard to find where lol the bottom of the car has old residue of oil maybe when it heats up that's the drops that I see but I know in some point was leaking oil n still does like I said it was oil all over the engine when I bought it

 

My first thought would also be the filter. It could also be a super slow leak from aging gaskets, which (if you want to go the "don't get your hands dirty route") could possibly be solved with an OTC conditioner product like this - Oil Stop Leak | Engine Oil Leak Sealant | BlueDevil. These additives drive some people nuts, but they have their place. If it doesn't work you're only out a few bucks anyhow. If it works it's a cheap fix that saves you some time.
