Oil Leak on middle R side of car
I noticed a new oil leak on my C2 in front of the R rear wheel. The leak does't appear to be coming from the tank. I fear an oil line may be leaking. I have not looked at the car yet up close to see how the oil lines run. Do I have to remove the rocker moulding for access and how are these attached to the car. I hate to break plastic clips!

You could have a leak in the oil lines themselves, the joints, or the thermostat.
Removing the shark's fin and rocker panel is not too bad, just have a couple of spare clips on hand before you start. Also, the two bolts on the shark's fin and the one at the front of the rocker panel have nuts on them.

The shark fin clip will probably break, but plastic epoxy will fix that (factory recommended method). The other panel is pretty loose to begin with so should come out w/o problems.
Get a long handle 10mm pivot head gear wrench for the shark fin. Once the plastic nut is loose, fingers work faster than the wrench. |
