My 2001 GTP has always had a small drip oil leak which is from the oil pan gasket. Recently I noticed a large pool of what I though was oil in the drive way. It was diluted but it was the diameter of a frisby. I brought the car in the garage and lifted it using my ramps. Even for the 20 minutes it was in the air, it accumulated a quarter size pool of oil. Oddly enough, it was located nowhere near the engine, rather it was near the radiator.
I examined the fluid and it has a red tint to it. Looking closer it seems to come from two blistered pipes that run from the transmission into the radiator. The entire bottom level run of these two pipes are rusted and blistered. :rollpicard: I did my best to take photos, and I could be wrong about where the leak is coming from.
Looking directly down from the top of the engine, you see the new dime sized fluid drop
A saturated plastic wire shield near the radiator
A view from under the car. This is the scrape protector directly under the radiator. Notice the oil begining to drop
Another view with a closer look at the plastic soiled wire cover
Another view of the rusted junk
This is the fluid that dropped
Notice the color, that is brownish/red
A quick and shitty shot of the inatke manifold to show there are no leaking oil trails
These next two photos are the best shots I could get of the rusted pipe. It is in the center of the photo
Notice the saturated/rusted pipe in the center
I believe what I need and what is failing is:
ACDELCO 10330105
ACDELCO 10330106
I am assuming that this is what is leaking, but I am hoping someone who has been there and done that can confirm my suspicion. Is there any other component I should be looking at? How tough of a job is this? How much would I expect to pay at a shop? The parts seem to round about $80.
Thanks for looking!
