    Default Wow, profusely leaking OIL.

    Check out that post. I need your guys' advice on whether or not I should take it back to the shop that recently performed work on my car that may have caused the oil leak.
    Mmmm... boost? Si Si.

    posted on tuners... but here's my thoughts:

    Wasn't leaking before they worked on it, right?

    I'd take it back... but something you might want to do first is pick up some UV dye at the local parts store (napa has it pretty cheap) and put a black light in there, start the car and see where it starts glowing... you won't be able to miss it, and then you'll at least know where it's coming out at...

    If it's something simple like a loose sending unit, or oil filter, then you can fix it... if it's not so simple, and they caused it, they should fix it, but whatever the case, keep an eye on the level, and if you have something else to drive, I would, cause if you cause some internal damage running with the leak, they aren't going to fix that.
