Oil Is sprinkling all over my hatch.
Oil Is sprinkling all over my hatch.
So I tried seafoaming my mini, I put a whole bottle of the stuff in my gas tank and everything was cool. Put half a bottle in my il drove for a like 150 miles then changed the oil, immediately the rear window began to get sprinkles on it until I couldn't see out of the window. Pulled over got out and touched it, it was oil. The whole beck end was covered in oil.
I pop the hood check the oil level and it's getting low. By the time I get back to the house it's on e and there's oil dripping from underneath the passenger side near the passenger side bushing.
Now I don't know where the oils leaking from tried, filling it up only to have the oil dump out again. couldn't find a leak near the oil filter housing or the drain plug those are on there tight and sealed. So the oil must be coming from somewhere I can't obviously see. Anyone have any idea where it could be? OR what's wrong with it? I'm taking it to my mechanic tomorrw, but I'm hoping it's nothing serious.

Well I have to say the seafoam is just a coincidence. I and many other people here have done it with no problems.
You already checked the two areas I was going to suggest. Let us know how it goes with the mechanic.

Dont panic!
In that area you have two things drain plug and the filter itself. I would check the filter and especially the O Ring and of course the drain plug. If you got 2 orings on that filter it will do it. Seafoam wont do it.
