Engine Oil Leak
95 SE Series II, 135,000 mi, has been leaking considerable oil for at least 20 thousand miles; tightening the pan bolts didn't stop it. Didn't find much in Search, so maybe it'* just my isolated problem. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
On another topic, saw lots of posts about rotor warping. Agree w/all about replacing, but when it needs to be very frequent, suspect caliper and/or brake hose.

We need more specifics regarding where you see the oil. And you should probably start by fully cleaning the engine before trying to narrow it down. Oil leaks aren't common, but can be fairly easy to track down.

I don't know if this is anything for the L27, L36, or L67, but it is believed my intake seals are leaking [willwren has for the most confirmed this, but there are always other possibilties]. Yours may have the same problem, please go to my thread here:

My oil pan was leaking also. Tightening the pan bolts likewise did no good. The only solution was to replace the pan gasket. It was very easy to do. The only thing in the way is the small flywheel cover (two 10mm bolts). You should remove the oil level indicator first so as not to break it. I did it without removing it and it can be done but be advised it is about 2-3 " long so be gentile and don't pull the pan straight down or you'll be replacing it too.
