(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score It's above the oil pan. Please take a look at the attached picture, I think that's where the leak is coming from. Oil plug and filter are tight, doesn't seem to be leaking from there. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score That is not miss fill cause that does not seam like a brand new oil. @sviki I cannot see taht picture well but i believe that is the oil line, the one that the oil returns to the engine from your turbo. Can't really tell by the pic though. Is that genpu cause the oil return line on the genwon is different. I have taken my turbo a couple of times and that gasket on the line was bad and was dropping some oil. Double check it! Last edited by dead-zone; 09-01-2012 at 07:25 PM. Reason: misspellings :) |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score I think it's leaking from the oil return line (wasn't sure what that was called). I let it run for few seconds while I was under the car and that's where the oil started coming out of. I think the rest of the oil is from the oil spraying because it's everywhere. I checked it couple weeks ago and the level was good. I changed it about 4K miles ago. If it's the oil return line gasket, is it simple to replace and do I have to get it from a dealer or does AutoZone carry it? It's gen 1 btw. I appreciate your input. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score First check if it is really the seal! As I said I am not sure because I cannot see it good from the pic. If it comes from somewhere higher but it runs on the line check the banjo bolt on the turbo. As ms6fl said, the seal pretty cheat at mazda. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Well, doesn't look like it's the oil return line. I wiped the oil and let the car run until I saw some oil come out - it's above the return line and can't really tell where it's coming from. I guess I'll have to take it to the dealer. Sucks because they won't open until Tuesday. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Do you guys think I should put it back to stock before I take it to the dealership? I only have SRI, SSP, and RMM. I've done oil changes myself and have all receipts. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score It turned out to be oil pipe, according to the dealer, not the return line. I appreciate everyone's input. |
