hey guys...my STI is fubar......i have found a massive oil hemerage... leaked oil for about 6 kms but in a long drizzle from the drivers side of the motor...also left a decent size puddle on the garage floor....does anyone have any guesses what it might be...i will be having a lok underneath the car tomorrow but i am worried that i am up for some serious damage repair....didn't seize though which is a bonus. anywayz cheers!!!!!!

Don't panic yet. Probably a gasket or an oil line. Pain in the ass but not the end of the world. Possibly loose filter or sump plug to. Guessing you also have the aerodynamic panels underneath to so may be coming from the left side and that is just the easiest place for it to come out.

A little oil also goes a bloody long way so will probably look a hell of a lot worse than it may be.

Not good but don't stress TO much just yet till you find out what it is.

Is it burning the oil, or just leaking it out ?
Check to see if its a seaping gasket or if something else has come loose.
DO NOT waste any time. Check it ASAP. If it looks nasty then get
it seen to before it causes some realy internal damage. No oil = oh shit !

rocker cover? gasket?

turbo oil drain hose. Has a tendency in age to crack and split being right next to the hot up-pipe.

Also check: Rocker cover. Oil filter. sump gasket. Banjo bolts for Oil intake for turbo. Gasket for a cover plate behind drivers side head.

Should have bought an STI

a good indication of how muc you have lost is to check your oil level...if its still close to the top its not as bad as it seems but still check!!! If really low then top up with oil and get it fixed ASAP!!! Check everything that is stated above!!
