Oil Leak - 03 Elantra
Hello everyone,
After getting some repair work done on my Elantra, I've had an oil leak. From what I can see is that it's leaking from the back ( as you look from the fron of the car) of the engine. I think it might be the head gasket, but I don't have any antifreeze in my oil, or the other way around. It's not leaking from my valve cover, but somewhere below, I just can't stick my head down far enough to see exactly where. Anyone know what gasket it could be? bowdown.gif
I really need to buy a repair manual for my car.....

lets see off the top of my head
it could be
valve cover, a/c compressor, oil pan, crack in the block, freeze plug, head gasket
lots actually

I was worried about that, but I know it isn't the block. I had some valve work done and they checked for cracks before putting it back together. That's also when the problem started.... I would guess those asses at Midas put it together wrong. It's the first and last time I went or will ever go there for anything. I guess I was leaning towards a gasket because it never leaked until I had new valves put in.... long story.
