New Car

[Matt4Nissan]

Here it is. The car needs a little work, but at 122k miles what car doesn't. The motor is VERY strong, and the AC is ICE COLD. My 2 main things. The body is a bit rough, but the car is bone stock so hopefully it wasn't abused. I don't have a manual to pull the CEL, let alone I don't know how to go about doing it on a S14. The car runs really good, and really strong for the mileage it has. I drove it back from Tampa, Fl. Which is a 3 hour drive. The AC is ICE COLD. Which is a change from my old se-r. Only mechanical problem is, when I got back to town I looked at the rear bumper and there was oil on it. I looked under the hood, and there was oil on the passenger side crossmember. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for removing that. I attempted to post but it said some type of error occured. I did a massive search on this site, and I'm pretty sure I know where the leak is coming from. So no one likes the car?? What's Nissan's name for the paint color on the car? It's the Blue/Green pearl color.

Contratulations! Plastic wax cleaner is available at your local autozone for the headllights. You said the Rear bumper, but then passenger side crossmember. If you are in fact speaking of the rear of the car, possibly the differential oil, transmission fluid flowing down to the back which could be the side gear shaft seals, and so on.
If you are talking about the front as your last sentence implies, then you might want to look at my post here (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32775)

Good Luck!

I had a friend come and look at the car. He's more knowlegeable about S chassis then I. He said that it's the front crank seal. He also attributed the oil on the rear of the car to this since it was probably splashing oil out for 3 hours on the way home. I will get it up in the air and check everything out though.
