hey guys, Im just looking at buying an engine for my conversion, and got a few questions, from these photos Ive just got 2 issues, on the right side of the motor its all black, does it look like an engine oil leak or a p/s pump leak ? the owner says the power steering did leak in the accident.
but looking from the leak where its spread out does it look like it could be a serious engine leak?

And one the photo theres a huge hole in the gbox which apparently the mount got ripped off in the accident it had, would this affect the motors function at all ?could the impact be carried in to the motor and damage it somehow ? motors done 150ks and apparently imported about 2 years ago and 2 owners, the 2 owners are friends, both mechanics, and tell me the car was in very very good condition before the accident
what do you guys think ?

get the lsd out of that gearbox before it`s scrapped, as for the motor, who knows worth a try, unless teh cars been rolled then it may not be any good

not been rolled, a right frontal aparently, what about the what looks like an oil leak ? does it look like a leaking power sterring more than a leaking engine or the other way round? anythoughts ? thanks guys

can you go out and inspect the car in person, you woudl know for sure where teh leak was from tehre,, pics arent really helping allot cos teh aircon pump and twisted metal from eteh front end are in teh way of teh shots,,

i would say it is power steerin fluid leak if u look at the bottom of the power steerin pump in the 2nd pic the bottom of it is oily lookin...an the only place oil could leak from the engine round there to make it go all down the front is the head gasket which i doubt is leakin

I wouldn't worry about a small oil leak, is doesn't mean the engine is bad. It will be out anyway so easy to rectify.
Check to see if there is any oil in it. It has a standard manifold on it so it poss hasn't had too much of a hard life.
Last question how much is he asking? and what is included?
