    Maybe pull the OE's off a QX4.

    Oh gosh, I hope that's not on the 3.3! That would totally suck.

    No puddles. Just smell it outside the car when I park after a drive. I'll look around talk to the auto parts store.

    Grrr

    I can't smell it inside the cabin, just outside when I park and get out. UV dye huh? That shows under a blacklight? I've got a blacklight flashlight. Where can I get it? I haven't run hot yet.

    If they're good, you can't push them in by hand much....

    I'd like to learn more about that last QX4. Is it someone here? I like the lights installed down there with the fog lights, tires, rear tire carrier, roof lights, etc. I'd just like to learn more about that build.

    I'm not sure how this works? I'll google it and see what I find. This looks advanced....

    That's how it should work. When they get low and don't work I head to the local pull-a-part and find some new ones.

    I had an oil leak and it took a while to fine them all. The first was the valve cover. The phillips head screws don't seem to hold as tight as a real bolt. Almost every time I check them one or two will take a turn. The other source of my oil leak was a cam seal. I didn't find that one until I changed the timing belt and that leak ran all the way down to the bottom of the engine. Never would have guessed or even thought of it. I had a rear main seal leak on an Jeep XJ. Luckily it was a 2 piece replacement so all I had to do was drop the pan.

    I could use a little help. I've got a 98 QX4 with the 3.3. It's all stock. I have a small coolant leak somewhere, but I can't find it. If I drive it for a little while I can smell it and after about a week of driving to and from work it is approximately a pint low on coolant. The cap is good and I can't see any obvious leaks. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? I'm a decent at-home garage mechanic once the problem is diagnosed, but identifying what is the problem is sometimes my weakness.
