Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I've been chasing a possible vacuum leak in my 2007 CS. It has 227k miles on it. In doing so I found oil leaking from a connection that is in the oil fill pipe. Took it apart and found that the o-ring was pretty tired. I ordered a new one but now I'm wondering how many more o-rings are there that could be a possible vacuum leak just because of the age of the car. Any thoughts ?

Can of worms man. If you're looking for a vacuum leak, there's 2 basic ways to find them. One is a smoke test and the other (quick and dirty) is to take a can of starter fluid and spray it around the connections with the motor running. If you hear an acceleration in RPM, there's your leak.
