When all else fails, attack his grammar. You're one smooth operator....says the guy who can't figure out how to use a spelling checker or how capitalization works...

Anyways, back to cars....
Found my oil level was dangerously low yesterday [emoji15], put in a quart and brought it back up to min. Level. Skid plate under the engine was bone dry as well as the outside of the filter housing. So I took my engine cover off this morning out of curiosity and found the culprit. Two of the t30 bolts on the black plastic top of the engine (head cover, I'm not really sure I don't have that much experience) were fairly loose and the recesses were full of oil. Tightened them to spec, I think 8nm and filled the oil right to the middle of the line. Hopefully this solves it...
You can see how wet it is between the cyl 2,3 and cyl 3,4 plugs.
Anyone else hear of this issue?

Sorry wrong pic
If you're going to call someone stupid, don't look stupid doing it. That's all I'm saying.
Anyway, I installed the vented side grills. Now, she can get a bath.
It's been over 1000 miles, so I figured I'd check on my painted rotors.
Besides a little brake dust, they look just fine. I'll keep an eye on them.

Does the 2.5 have a PCV. I know the 2.0 Has a similar issue when the PCV goes bad.

On a serious note, did you have any fitment issues with your bumper? Mine is bowed out on the side a bit... I know im hitting something back there, just not sure what. (I trimmed my fog grill).

No, my bumper is fine. Did you slide it into the slots on both sides? It's the weirdest slot/tab system that I've seen. Sturdy, though.
There is a slot like this on both sides into which you slide the tabs on the bumper.

Valve cover was the name you were looking for. Its fairly common on the 2.0 but can happen on the 2.5, I would suggest getting a new valve cover gasket, cheap part and takes all of 20 minutes to replace yourself. You just need a T25 torx bit for the vc bolts........ and strong fingers to pull the coil packs lol.
As to the crazy stupid nonsense on the past 2 pages having nothing to do withcars and everything to do with hurt ego's, for the love of God please move on!!!! We are all here to share and enjoy the fine automobiles we spend so much time and money on, so lets do that!

Dude I am so sorry to hear that! Any idea how it happened or when? Really hope she comes back to you bro. Dont really hear of mkv's being stolen that often, its not very easy. Does anyone have a spare key to your car?
