  • Come along with me in this video as I fix the oil leak that developed on Mrs.O's 2019 Kia Sedona with the big 3.3. Ended up being an easy fix and it wasn't the classic Kia oil pressure switch either.

      I’m gonna guess Eric bought this used so he didn’t get the benefit of the 10 year 100K power train warranty as this would otherwise be fixed for free at the dealer. As entertaining as his videos are Eric O seems to often make poor choices in his own vehicles. For example he bashes everything made by Chrysler/Damlier/Fiat/Stellaris, and their next bankruptcy creditor, yet buys a Jeep that he regularly hates on for how they’re complete junk. You get what you pay for.

    Remember what happened to the space shuttle due to orings and cold weather. Many years ago my relatively new dishwasher failed in warranty due to a circuit board issue. The board had a clear design issue, solder joints broke due to excessive stress. I called the manufacturer and learned that the board was on back order. It was obvious that the parts were failing at such a high rate that they could not keep them in stock.

      BMW's have a similar problem (N54 oil filter housing - probably applies to other engines too). The gasket gets hard and then it leaks. A light application of RTV might be a good thing to try. Just a little, as in smear it on the gasket with your fingers then put the gasket in the housing and install.

      I bet the rubber gasket swells as he heats up, and the plastic has to stretch a little with it each time -- and eventually the plastic work hardens and just stays stretched, and then when the rubber cools and shrinks again, it leaks; and that's why he said it doesn't leak anymore once it heats up. I think it's called "creep", when the plastic will slowly stretch itself into a new shape and will no longer shrink back to it's original form. So buying the housing was the right move; I'm sure it's distorted and not even flat anymore. Why you would bolt plastic to a hot block with boiling hot oil blasting through it? I don't have a clue.

      Fluid film , yes on the inner hat touching the hub. But in between the fins and the outer hat are open to the elements which would normally rust on plain non coated rotors. I’ve even seen where these zinc coated rotors not rust on the pad surface even if they sit for weeks.

      I bet the rubber gasket swells as he heats up, and the plastic has to stretch a little with it each time -- and eventually the plastic work hardens and just stays stretched, and then when the rubber cools and shrinks again, it leaks; and that's why he said it doesn't leak anymore once it heats up. So buying the housing was the right move; I'm sure it's distorted and not even flat anymore. Why you would bolt plastic to a hot block with boiling hot oil blasting through it? I don't have a clue.

    My daughter had an oil change done at Walmart. Afterwards, it had quite a leak. She then made a 800 mile trip for a visit, where I checked it out. The drain plug was loose, and the oil filler cap fell off. The cap was resting on the engine, so I reinstalled it, and tightened the plug. The engine was 3.5 quarts low on oil. Once the oil level was proper, the check engine light went off. No issues on the return trip

      it is all smoke and mirrors, virtue signaling. The grid can't handle only electric vehicles ... in most countries.
      I still would like to get a carbureted car with a distributor; mostly mechanical parts. Check out UTG/Uncle Tony's Garage for content based on old engines.
      Also, in 'merica, a lot of people live in rural areas where electric cars just don't cut it. Average range of EV 211 miles. Imagine 150 round trip to work (lots of people do it, I know several) in a place where it can be -20F when you leave for work ... the EV probably won't make it to work and back because you are blasting heat, it is cold and that affects range/battery capability as well. So no combustion engine would be big problems. Just like that blizzard traffic jam that left people in their cars for a day; gas engines idle for a loooong time on a few gallons of gas; the battery is likely not going to last until it is cleared because you have to run the heat to stay alive.
      So I just listen to the buffoons blabber like it always has been enough to know the bs going around, then I ignore it all; but my 'luxury' to ignorance is I have survived cancer and heart failure, I may not be here next year, not going to try to jump in the dirt faster by being 'worried' about morons spouting faux utopia/dystopia rhetoric. Batteries need a lot more dedicated science for car safety specifically before they should be readily adopted when are are moving to the amount of energy stored in EVs which will only get bigger. Fire containment/suppression built in, because you can't have a parking garage full of EVs, one starts to turn into a roman candle underneath the apartment building of the families that own those vehicles.
      I'm all for the technology advancement, and I hope they can figure it all out. It isn't ready yet for the masses.
      How does it feel when our reality feels more like a parody than it should? Idiocracy is feeling far more prophetic than it ever should've been as a satire.
