whats a good vaccum pressure that you should be at. mine used to be at 19 steady and then now bumps between 18-21 depending on if i run it or not, an temperature. is this ok? and my idle changes slightly between 750-900 depending on temperature too.

good stuff. thanks guys.....now i have a small oil leak, that seems to only leak when the engine is on. very small. seems like maybe the drain plug? i had an oil change last week, and it seems to be in the center of the engine bay. i dont wanna make another post, so could i ask that in here?

You could ask it here, but finding people to reply to an oil leak question in a vacuum thread maybe a difficult task.

The leak just ends up on the ground where the center of the engine was parked over that spot on the ground? Or is it leaking down all over the engine then on the ground?

If you think its coming from the drain plug, just jack the car up and look to see if its oily with a lot of dirt stuck around it.

If not, begin your search elsewhere. It shouldnt be that hard to find the leak...

edit. you mean you didnt do the oil change?

lol i got lazy and since my tranny had a leak and the shop had it, i let them do it. but what i see is that when i stop in my driveway, i notice maybe three dime to quarter sized drops of oil. than i'll roll it back and wait and i see one quarter sized oil drop. but its like dead center of the car some times a lil lean to the passenger side, but its not enough oil to run down the driveway you know? but im just asking is this a possibility? and it seems to only happen a little bit and mostly only when i run the car.....when its parked usually no leak

Ryan95GST · 02-16-2007, 11:22 AM

to be honest it does not sound like your drain plug if you only notice it when the car is running.....Sounds like whatever the leak is that it is coming from some where higher than your drain plug. I would start at the drian plug, then to the turbo drain to the pan, then the pan itself and work your way up. The Pres is right it should not be too hard to find
