[QUOTE="olympic, post: 16874287, member: 168598"] Is this car still being driven or is it stored for the winter? If it hasn't been driven and suddenly sprung a leak, about the only spot it could leak is the oil drain plug since all the oil is sitting in the pan. Another possibility is the power steering reservoir or hoses (unless you're running a different color fluid in there). 5w20 is too thin for a forced induction motor IMO. I've been running 5w30 for years and will be switching to a 40 weight this year. No real reason, just want to se if it will improve hot idle oil pressure. [/QUOTE]
