Hey guys i noticed some water dripping at the bottom of my car its a s13 200sx with s14 sr20det motor and gearbox i poped the hood and could not find any thing so jacked up the car had a look under the car and saw something strange if you laying straight under the car with your back to the ground and you look at the oil filter just left from the filter the water seems to be coming out there? Can any body direct me in what to do

It does not seem to be from a pipe thow its were theres bolts

This is just a stab in the dark but maybe one of the bolts is missing a washer or its worn.

Thanks man any body else with input

Hey dude if it by the oil filter it may be the stock oil cooler kit it has 2 water pipes running to it take a pick and post
But remember just cos it looks like its from the bolt doesn't mean that it is water is one of the hardest things to trace where a leak starts just tighten the clamps and look for small tear

K kwl will try and post a pic 2moro reason why i think its for sure there is that there a build up of brown rust water paste were the water droplets form from, started leaking after i gave it a good service when i put radiator flush in so i think the rust paste prevented it from leaking and the radiator flush cleand the rust away in turn leaving a gap for water to seap threw
