[QUOTE="leynye yamin, post: 1063951180, member: 123148"] for leakage problem i encounter after changing from mineral to semi is:- engine oil filter housing (next to exhaust manifold) leaked due to hardened oil ring(there are 2 o-rings, 1 is small and 1 is big ring); next is o-ring from nest to the valve cover there is a number 10 bolt that screws a plastic thingy that houses a o-ring as well, (if you unscrew that no.10 bolt you will pull out a plastic silinder with a o-ring attached to it.); camshaft and crankshaft oil seal leakage and valve cover spark plug oil seal leakage. so far i replaced the 2 pcs oil filter o-ring, replaced the plastic thingy o-ring, replaced timing belt and the 2 seals with tensioner bearing, and replaced the valve cover to new ones.
