Hey,


I have the ARC oil cap.It seems to be leaking oil.Any ideas??



thanks!

pj

 

weird...try the OEM again and see what happens

 

yea,I think I will.it seems to be coming from where the little seem is though.Will having too much oil cause this?because I noticed that when warm,the oil level is a little over the top line of the dipstick

 

no

 

hmmmm..

 

Well I have never seen the ARC oil cap but id imagine you could add an additional gasket on top of the original one to help tighten the seal.

 

honestly he's better off just putting his Stock cap back on instead of piling gaskets one of top of another just for the sake of keeping an 'ARC' cap.

 

Same problem with my HKS oil cap, I have the stock back on now.

 

because it make sense. I know so many people who've had issues with aftermarket caps(not all of them) that they are not even worth it to me.

 

Yeah I agree but the HKS did match the rest of the engine bay, the stock one is boring, maybe one day I'll try to modify the seal.

 

Prob just the JDMness that's provided by a very expensive/pointless cap.

 

Wow, don't those oil caps cost $130? I'm wondering if you're crank case pressure is too high. You might have a clogged pcv valve or not enough ventilation that's causing oil to come though your cap. If it is the cap they better warranty it for the truck load of money spend on it.

 

I know it can't be the seals because it isn't coming from the sides.its coming from the top between the gold and green.


any idea how I can reach arc?

 

bump...

any idea if I put some hi-temp sealant on the inside of the cap if it'll be ok? says its rated for 650 degrees,

 

I dont know how to get in contact with arc however I may have an idea. If you take of those 6 hex bolts does the cap split into two pieces? If so them split them apart and apply a small bead or silicone or rtv around the entire perimeter and then put it back together. That should give you the proper sealage you need.
