Could use some help please
Hey guys, I recently am going nuts with my car.... I have taken it to both dealers or like some of you call stealers and some other shops..
It all started with an oil leak from what I was told was the valve covers... I replaced them with new oem ones from Nissan. and then there was another leak a VPC gasket, I replaced that too... then it continued to leak, the dealer was saying it was the valve covers.... today I paid to have the engine fully braked cleaned since there was oil everywhere including on the ac compressor. they have told me that it they know for sure its coming from the Crank sensor and the cam sensor...
Is it normal for it to leak through there? they are quoting $168.00 for the crank sensor and $321. for the cam sensor... I did find the parts on Mynismo.com which I think is a Nissan dealer in cali for half those prices.. but I need to make sure of the part numbers since the paper they gave me is vague.
Now the clutch, I knew it needed to be replaced, I replaced it with the JWT clutch and lightned flywheel set up, replaced the master cylinder and the rear main seal... the clutch after stop and go traffic for about 15mins will start sticking... they claim its the slave but I went to the mynismo.com site I can see it in there... I think its under a different name if someone could tell me if its in there that would be cool..
My questions are.... Is it normal for this to happen for oil to come out of those two areas? is it a simple thing to do on my own?
is the slave name something different in the parts department? is it something easy to do?
If I did my research correctly, Nissan wants 900 bucks for parts labor and taxes..
I think I found all the parts for 350 on the site, if I got the correct parts.
any help would be nice..
Also is there any member in here that is in Florida, that could maybe help me do this if I get the parts? I am so strapped right now after spending $600 on covers, 900 for clutch and another 120 for fluids, 300 for master and all the gaskets I bought to be safe... not including the labor I paid... just lost for words and ideas right now.
