Oil Leak... TEAM_BRIAN 01-06-2006, 06:20 PM
I have a 1993 3.4 liter DOHC automatic trans, and the car model is Grand prix SE. I have a oil leak and i was wondering if any else has come across this. I would like some information on this problem before i start disassembling the engine. I have heard many guesses on what the problem could be, but I'm still not sure. The car seems to leak more oil when i let the car drive in higher RPM ranges. I will be thankful for any help on this, thanks. GTP Dad 01-07-2006, 11:19 AM Welcome to AF! Do you know where the oil is coming from since it would be a benefit to know in order to help you with the issue.

I still can't find the specific area of the leak until i break down the engine, it's pretty tight in there. richtazz 01-10-2006, 09:19 AM A common culprit on these engines is the o-ring on the oil pump drive shaft housing (it's basically a distributor with the top cut off). It's located in the center of the "V" on the drivers side under the throttle body. TEAM_BRIAN 01-11-2006, 12:38 AM Thanks for the help, I'll check it out.
