I have a 1990 Auto Hatch back Nissan pulsar had a service for rego. The test came back with oil problems as the engine showed spots of oil leaks, they did a breath test and was amazed it wasn"t vavles or rings, finally the car was repaired and rego. But my engine is very hot when travelling only 7k's down the road I went back to the mechanic he check it.. he can't find nothing. Today for the first time I went 25k's then the temperture gauage started to show movement towards half way and a show of small spots of oil coming from the cap and another, enough to clearly see I was to worried to go any further and the engine is still very hot! HELP!

Hi! YOu may want to start checking on the radiator and cooling fan. The radiator could be clogged with dirt which can cause stress to the engine when hot. Be sure that the cooling fan blows strong air for this helps a lot in cooling the engine. Regarding the small spots of oil, Have you noticed a white smoke lately? If so, Its gonna be a piston ring or valve seal problem. Theres a possibility that the head has crack too but this will have a mixture of water to the oil. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!
No problem, have a good one now. Take care.
