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? -------------------- |

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

I found a write up on how to replace a 5sfe dizzy leak from a MR2. It should be the same right? And also is it safe to clean with wd40 instead of the brake cleaner? Yes I know it's not safe at all but you get what I mean. Lol. http://www.mr2.com/forums/non-turbo-engine...html#post529156 EDIT: NVM I sucked it up and did it. I guess it's easier done than said. Lol. So while I was replacing I found some oil inside the dizzy. It was very little though. Probable like 2 drops of oil only. I'm pretty sure the internal o ring needs replacement too but hopefully the external will prevent most of the external oil leaks.
