Does your S30 leak oil? Is there a way to have a oil leak free engine?

Rebuilt with new gaskets?

original and leaking? etc. Lets hear it!

I think I have oil leaks all over just not so bad as to make me want to do major repairs. Rear main may be leaking a little. I fix them as I go.

No oil leaks. My motor (L28 in my 240) has a "Remanufactured by Nissan" tag on it. I doubt there are more than 10k miles on it but I have no way of knowing. Anyhow, I guess they did it right.

No oil leaks. 200,000+ on an L24. Wish I could offer tips, but I don't know how it has pulled it off. BTW: It's been without one valve cover bolt for two years since a friend snapped the bolt off in the block. Still, no leaks.

I've had 10 S30's over the past 25+ years and I can't remember any of them ever leaking a drop of oil.

The only time I can recall having an oil leak is when the oil pressure sensor was leaking.

No leaks on my former Z with the built L26 or my current Z with it's LS1

Tailshaft on trans. Replaced seal, started leaking again about 5 days later. To hell with it. Very Minor.

Both the 914 and the Z leak a tiny bit. I figure they are just marking their garage territory...

Both my 240Z's leaked everywhere when I bought them but now that I have redone all the seals and gaskets I have no leaks.

When you put the seals in the right way-they don't leak:stupid:

I've owned my '71 since it was new and have only replaced the valve cover gasket and water pump gasket during routine maintenance - no leaks ever.
