sure is nearly every single one ive seen does it.
my caldina was good at 75k, but since 100km ive noticed its begun.
i've always wondered if the backwards tilt of the engine has something to do with it.

My MR2 doesn't leak. But I think the engine only has 15k on it since a rebuild. :lol:

just like the time the wof inspector popped the bonnet in my car and stood there with a puzzled look on his face before the other inspector kindly pointed it out for him

Hahaha, my AW11 caused a few issues like that too.

You wonder how a mechanic couldn't have delt with an MR2 before, they've been around for 25 years and its somewhat obvious looking at one that the engine's gonna be in the back.

Mind you, I have had someone ask me if its front wheel drive before… after I showed him the engine.

Wow, thats a real special individual right there...

There is one car that you could be forgiven for thinking that.

Those mid 80's corolla SR's or something that have a 3A N-S mounted but fwd

Why you would have one is a different question though.

There's quite a few FWD cars like that. Renaults come to mind.

few hondas do that too
