Purchsed a 90 eclipse gst and runs perfect. bring it home and notice oil drips... put it on rino block and bottom of the engine is almost covered in oil. Noticed leaking from bottom of oil dip stick and drain bolt, but also around the bottom of the block at different bolts. I was wondering what are common oil leaks on the bottom of the block and how can you seal them. I have used gas tank sealer and im going to use that after i replace all the bolts on the pans and the replace the gaskets. help needed ASAP before race season.
ps- need stock or used aftermarket struts and springs!

One commen place is the turbo oil return line. Poor gasket mating surface or no thread locker on the bolts will lead to some leaks there. Are we talking major (as in check the dipstick, oil is low.) Or minor as in a few spots and a dirty block?
Is your stock suspension blown completely or are you looking to upgrade? I've got some old stock pieces you can PM me about but you'd probably be happier with upgrades if you can afford it.

Most DSM oil leaks are comparable to Harley Davidsons renowned claim for the same problem.
