I've had my 1.5L CE Auto for about 2 years now with 120k on it. It has leaks from the moment I bought it and well aware of it. Nothing major, I've done about 30k over the years.
The oil drips concentrated on the oil pan, the first thing I did was to re gasket the whole oil pan. But the leaks continue.
I also noticed that the oil doesn't come out when the car sits without turning on the engine. The leaks get worse whenever I do high rev drive, like hill climbing. I had to stop one time because there was a smoke coming out of the engine bay, but I think it's just a smoke from dripping oil on the exhaust pipe.
I haven't changed the timing belt yet because it's still okay and I don't really have the tools nor skills to do it.
I can see gunk around belt area and engine bay around driver side.
Thoughts?
