Hello first gen Noxer's... I'm back here with an oil leak problem on the 2005 LT FWD. I do my own oil changes. I just changed the oil a few days ago, same way as I always do. but I now have a pretty consistent drip. After inspectiong I see the oil seems to be dripping from above the filter...

found a pasenger side mirror for $30 bucks on ebay... ordered & should be here by the end of the week.

We dove right in to the project & didn't think of grabbing the camera to take progress pictures... But, I do believe my brother took some of the actual tank once we had it out, for reference purposes... I'll see if i can post any (if he hasn't deleted them).

Ironically, the car had just been fueled up a few days earlier, so the tank was 3/4 filled with gas. That made things heavier to deal with. :uhoh2: I have to thank my good friend & my brothers for their help... & the fan we used, which provided for better ventilation inside the garage...

^ As was mentioned, unfortunately no access under the seat for the fuel pump. All the work done from unser the car & labor instensive. I'd hate to think of the 'Labor' cost/charge to have this done at a dealer or shop. :boxed: Thanks for the Link Oleg,... I wish I would have found that link...

I wish i would have found this before i undertook the project & figured it out along the way. :banghead::emotions122: Good write up nonetheless... *I would also suggest using a fan for better ventilation, & keep a fire extinguisher close by. :flame:

Worked on it over the past weekend. First, Started by checking power at the fusebox & also confirming the fuel pump relay was clicking... It was. Discovered the fuel pump was bad. $400+ & 4 hours later, I replaced the fuel pump & now car is up & running.

so i looked at the fuses under the hood & they looked fine. I am still at a loss for the problem. I'll keep searching.

I dont know how much truth to this, but for those that are out of warranty, (& cannot afford new headlights) I was told that if you drill small holes under or behind the housing, it creates a vent & avoids the condensation... *Again, I dont know if its true... don't go drilling unless you're...

The car has well over 140k miles... I confirmed i do not hear any hunmming sound when the ingnition is turned to the ACC position. I was told that I will need to start by checking the fuel pump, or ECM fuses. I'll do that when i get home from work.

^ on the edge of our seats. ;)

Hello Nox fan's, I have a situation & I'm looking for advice on where to start diagnosing this problem... The Car shut off while driving on the road. I opened hood & didn't see or smell anything out of the ordinary. I then attempted to re-start & started for a second, but shuts off...

sweet - good info... thanks.

will do... i will also be searching out local salvage/junkyards to see what i can find.
