    identify the leak!! go!!

    You are laying down under the car face up with your feet out the front bumper. The high bolt you see is holding the fan pully. The leak is coming down the front of the cylinder head. It actually looks greenish, but oily at the same time. Any ideas?

          it's a 20 year old m20... What isn't leaking?

          Get purple power spray the shit out of that area and wash it down. You'll be able to see where leak is when it's clean.

            Good one. I love it. Actually I learned among other things that it's something called the oil gallery plug. You have to remove the water pump to get to it. Also the water pump gasket too, that's why it's oily green.
