    Never broke a pan in my life but then again I've never been as low as some of you guys. Anyway, while cruising up Artesia blvd in my Tech vert some guy pulls up in a Scion and asks if I have an "SR?" I was like WTF? then he goes..."M50?" I go "more than you can afford pal, M20 Turbo." lol j/k Maybe he was referring to SR20 swap? That it was kinda odd.

      Brought my car to local mechanic. Here re my issues..

      Power steering hose needs replacement

      Drain plug leaking
      One of the belt tensioner plugs needs a new washer.
      Didn't recommend an oil change
      Checked all that and no charge..
      235.00 for everything including oil change if I want to swap it out.

      Nothing serious... Who wants to make a few bucks?

                Just have that hose replaced and get a new plug washer next oil change. Done.

                        I think that the parking enforcement loves your e30 like all of us here but is too jealous and therefore hates the owner. LOL..

                                leaky spots

                                Ok, just for fun here are the pictures of the leaks they showed me.

                                Power steering hose is dead in the middle there


                                Drain plug


                                Tensioner...


                                I don't need an oil change.

                                I need someone to drain all the oil
                                replace the tensioner washer
                                replace the drain plug with a new one with a new washer
                                replace the power steering hose (the one that has a hex shape on it)


                                If I do an oil change and replace the hose they will charge me 235.00
                                They say my oil level is fine.

                                I just hate the drips on front of my house.. I also hate dirty things...
