Default OIL LEAK AND BURNING 1994 (M) WRX

Hi,

I have just purchased a 1994 (m) WRX and it has a slight leak (dont they all)
but I can find no info on this leak...?

There is a pipe as you look down though the gap between the engine and the slam panel that comes from the bottom of the engine and across a headsheild looking thing and this is leaking oil/fluid (slight drips but smells) onto the headshield does anyone know what this pipe is and how to change it need to get a new one as it stinks and smokes!!!!

Also i was thinking about getting a chip (scoobyecu) are these any good or what would you recommend?

Thanks

Ben

I have a RS Racing Sports Exhaust never really heard of before and cant find on any search engines (Cat Back) but looking to get a new down pipe and de-cat I also have a HKS Induction Kit and a front mount intercooler

It’s probably the rocker cover gasket that is leaking its very common.
I did the turbo side on mine it’s a swine to get at. I just resealed the original gaskets but I would replace the bolt washer/gaskets if you can only be a few quid.
