Help!!!!
So I bought this 89, drove 7 miles from the dudes house and started smoking from the front end. temp gauge dropped , Pulled over had a sweet smell and smoke coming from the front right of the motor. tried to drive a little further and my oil dropped. got out and their was defiantly oil coming from the right side kind of by the oil filter. So had it towed home.
a few weeks later I went out got some oil and coolant, filled it up and started it, nothing at idle no leaks nothing, so I let it warm up then it started leaking oil i could never find the fucking leak because too much shit in the way, so I thought it was the oil line under the turbo but now its not leaking. but there was still oil coming from somewhere in that area before I left. said fuck it for now. and today I went out started it up no leak, and let it run till a leak happen, sure enough coolant coming from behind the water pump I think and I lost all oil pressure and the bird cage light is on. I have never drove it but the first day I drove it I always start it and it starts shitting out fluids. Questions: How the fuck am I loosing oil pressure too much oil or what the dip stick says I’m full? What the fuck is behind the water pump that I could be loosing coolant? NO smoke out the rear end, no milky oil, no oil and coolant mix, no coolant overflow spills IF its no a BHG what the fuck could it be? And why are leaks coming and going? PLEASE help me guys |

There is no reason what so ever to be swearing on here. But anyway my 90 supra also blew the same hose a few miles after picking it up. But luckily with enough pressure the seller(a toyota tech) came and fixed it so I could get it home..

I agree with 907mge. Also when stuff like that happens you're better off tearing the car apart and check all other hoses and make sure everything is torqued down to spec. I dont know how many times I had to pull my head off to either replace something.
Is this your first Supra?? |

it also helps to pressure wash your engine that way theres nothing on the hoses that can create more leaks like oil, dirt, coolant etc

swearing is uncalled for in public..thats beside the point.
on the forums you got kids, teens, adult and some woman.. it offends some people and if your looking for help, polite language is a good thing practice, specially in life. im not gonna give you a life lesson or tell you I dont swear cuz i do.. im just saying be polite on the forums, people help out alot when there respected.. try this "what the F#@k" or "WTF" anyway, if your leaking oil still, id replace the oil filter, and check around the oil pan to see if the gasket is leaking, if so get it replaced..professionally! as for the coolant lines, just check every hose that comes from the inter cooler..replace necessary hoses and refill..flushing the system could help cause there may be a clog and may cause too much pressure causing it to leak. as for the oil pressure, id check the oil pressure gauge. mine kept coming loose, plugged it in it worked for awhile then it dropped back down again. check all those out again and get back to us.
