Consumer Description

CAR HAS BEEN FINE UP UNTIL THIS POINT. BUT WHEN STARTING THE CAR ONE MORNING, OIL BEGAN STREAMING ONTO THE GROUND. I FILLED THE CAR WITH OIL, DROVE THE 2 MILES TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND JUST UNDER 2 QUARTS LEAKED OUT AFTER THAT SHORT DRIVE. AFTER THEY REMOVED THE INSPECTION PLATE, THEY FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF CHAFFING BUT A SIMPLY SMALL HOLE THAT HAD DEVELOPED IN THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE VVTI OIL SUPPLY LINE. THEY REPLACED THE OIL SUPPLY LINE AND NOW THE CAR ENGINE HAS A LOT OF CLATTER AT LOW RPMS. I HAVE THE OLD PART AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. CAR HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
