Air oil seperator

Until you have identified exactly where the oil is coming from, any decision on how to proceed is little more than a guess. And any shop worth its salt should have replace the AOS while doing the IMS and RMS; the AOS is out in the open while doing those repairs and is a 5 min. change out job.

I kick myself for not changing out that 20 year old coolant tank when I did the Clutch and IMS - the AOS was new at that time.

I should of done some homework to have additional preventative work done. All the shop suggested was the RMS while he was doing the IMS. I requested the coolant be changed as it's 20 yrs old. Damn.

any time I change oil, or a water pump, anything with fluid,I slide a large piece of cardboard under the car and let it sit overnight to check for leaks, after the road test of course, that always gives me a good idea if I have any leaks,.so run it around town and slide a nice clean piece of cardboard under it you will get a good idea of where its coming from by morning,

I changed my AOS with the engine in the car. It was quicker and easier than I thought. I bought a tool for the spring clamps, the AOS, one of the lines that connects to the AOS, and a new spring clamp that had an installation dohicky on it. The Installation went smoothly. It is not as hard as the coolant tank....
