6th Gen ('00-'05): Increase your mpg/fuel economy
#31
well i had already changed the sparkplugs and wires the same week when i got the car, when i did this there was no oil on the plugs so i dont think its leaking there it seems to be leaking under the car near MY left side of the oil pan, im hoping its just something simple as an oil pan gasket or something even more simple. the other side under the car is fairly dry but the left is oily mess. And i will only be putting the seafoam thru the crankcase and the brake booster vaccum line. ill be putting the chevron in the tank. most ppl say dont drive for 200 miles after the seafoam, i think imma jus go 100 then change but im not sure if i should just wait till i get the oil leak fixed or not

You actually have to drop the cradle to change that gasket, it's not an easy job at all
#33
ive heard more than likely im jus gonna pay the shop $200 to fix it if that is the cause of the leak, they want $25 to find the leak

well i added the chevron dexron stuff, changed the precat o2 sensor, and added the seafoam to the oil, i couldnt add it to the brake booster line because everytime i took the line off the car cut off so i coulnt do the smoke show...is there another way to put the seafoam in to where i can do the smoke show? i believe in the intake? tomorrow im getting my oil pan gasket replaced and switching to synthetic oil as well. i also changed the purge solenoid canister but after all of these changes im still getting around the same 250 miles a tank. but the car do sound more sporty. any other ideas guys?

I wish ib would of thought of that but that is deff a good idea. Im going to do the treatment again and take tht advice

hey guys good news on this subject, i recently cleaned my maf sensor with the crc maf cleaner and after that i had got 282 on a single tank. thats a step up from 250, also idk if it was that or the fact that i put my intake closer to the fenderwell and further away from the engine...keep up the good ideas folks!
