I have had my TL in the shop about 6 times in the last few months trying to get a oil leak fixed. The last time it was in they swore that it was the oil pump gasket. Well I got it home yesterday and this morning i had oil on my driveway. Is there anything around this area that could be the problem that they are missing? I already had the valve cover gaskets replaced and the oil pan resealed. The oil pan cost me 400$ and that wasnt even the problem but because the leak was coming from above and dripping on it they charged me for it.

Any help wouild be appreciated! Thanks

 

The spool valve assembly is in that area & the #13 Filter Assy., Spool Valve ; #15 Gasket, Solenoid Base ; & #29 O-Ring (13X1.5) (ARAI) tend to leak if they are original to your 20+ year old car?

Good Luck!

 

Thanks brother! I'll definitely print this out and show them!
