I changed my oil about 2 weeks ago, checked it today...empty. ? Is there a common area that these cars leak oil from? I have only had the car about a month. I park in a dirt drive, but Ii haven't noticed anything.

One time it cranked and just died. I'm thinking it could be because of the dizzy having oil leak. I'm going to be changing it some time this week but I never removed a dizzy before? Anyone know if there's a how to guide somewhere? -------------------- |

Anyone know if there's a how to guide somewhere? you might have to make room by removing some intake parts but IDK havent had a stock intake for a while. Then you can access the north and south bolts of the distributor. you need to make sure you mark in case you need to put it back in the same place. but the distributor has the cap on it that is removed by just like a screw driver, and then the rotor is inside. inspect it as well. -------------------- 94 Celica GT
