feeling upset need help.
hey guys I'm having issues with my sr20de+t I made a thread before about the car getting hot after runs. I took the advice flushed my radiator add new coolant car runsfine .

sometimes car gets hot stop the car look at my overflow tank no boiling coolant.
I end up getting arrested for street racing payed a lot of money (that I don't have) I'm finally getting on track paying my bills and the loans.

June and July have been nothing but stress and headaches whatever ..

yesterday I take a drive in my car noticed temp get hot, I start moving car cools down stop car,open Hood and notice oil dripping out of my bov. not a lot but still not something I want happening.

my question is what can cause that and do I have two problems or one big problem?

any help is greatly appreciated.

does it over heat when idling? does it cool down when driving? What kind of radiator are you running? The oil in the bov sounds like the seals on the turbo.

yes it does over heat while idling but only sometimes sometimes the car doesn't overheat at all.
I'm running a stock b13 Ser radiator with one stock fan and one slim. the seals on the turbo i hope cause someone told me valves.

the Turbo doesn't smoke up nor does my exhaust and car still pulls great.

I had a similar problem and it ended up being a small leak in the head gasket.

Need to do some tests. I would do a leak down test and possibly pressurize the cooling system.
