yall my car is leaking some sort of brownish oil but i just checked my oil and took it to a mechanic about 2 weeks ago and everything was okay and theres no oil leaks, it doesnt have a smell and it feels oily but idk what it is 😾

[queen steeple]

Is it leaving a puddle or is it somewhere under the car you saw it

[dusty lynx]

You're the dude who bought a miata for like 10k right

Check your CAS o'ring

They like leaking and they leak down the back of the engine block so it's harder to spot

Cam Angle Sensor

[cloud tundra]

[cloud tundra]

its a tiny puddle tho, like really small ones scattered a little

if u want i can send a pic

[dusty lynx]

Google it lol

You have a 1.8l engine so it's on the driver's side of the back of the valve cover

[cloud tundra]

okay

i will once im home

there was a leak from the valve cover but they resealed it

when i took it to a mechanic

[dusty lynx]

Oh yeah they like leaking
It miiiiiiight be residual oil if the puddle is really small but i doubt it

[cloud tundra]

[dusty lynx]

It looks like oil but idk

Check every fluid on the car

If any of them are low that's probably what's leaking

[cloud tundra]
