I appreciate this may have been covered but i'm trying to get used to the forum and new to e30's.

I have an epic oil leak from the passenger side of my engine block. Seems to be more top end . Are there any pipes that could rupture on that side ? The other side is fine . It started this evening after an oil change last week. Just started to gush out . Any help greatly appreciated . thanks

is that the hard metal pipe with the spring at the bottom? That's where the leak is coming from. Top of the tube goes into the inlet manifold . That must be it now i know whats its called :) thanks reggid
