Default Need Help!!!

Some specs on the car:
-1994 SC400
-Approximately 170,000
-Car was serviced at 163,000 (Waterpump, timing belt, spark plugs etc.)
-No modification what so ever, except coilovers and wheels

For a while now oil has been leaking from the car and I haven't had time to take it to the shop to have them look at it. It seems as the more i drive the more oil i loose. Just trying to figure whats wrong with the engine.

my car has just recently started losing oil as well.

i was under the car with my father and he seems to think its coming from the rms-rear main seal--

my car only has 140 000km original--i was very upset but it deosnt seem to be getting any worse.

where is your leak coming from---under the engine---can u see the leak from the looking under the hood--if not you may have a rear main seal leak as well--how aggresive is the leak--

let me know

Yes the leak is coming from under the engine. I don't see any leaks when looking from the engine bay down. It only leaks a lot when i drive far or the car is on for more then 30-45 minutes.

Get back under yur car and spray carb cleaner everywhere to remove the gummed up oil. Then drive it for the length of time you think it start leaking, then jack it back up, and see if you can pin point it. Thats my 2 cents.
