I seem to have a problem with oil pooling on the top of the engine tin, where the red circle is. Just changed the valve cover, and its dry, so I know somehow its not coming from there. I wonder if its coming from the little hose just to the upper left? BUt thats dry too. At a loss here...

Do you have an oil bath air filter? When I jack up one side on my car, I sometimes get some overflow from the filter.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Apr 14 2013, 06:21 PM)  Do you have an oil bath air filter? When I jack up one side on my car, I sometimes get some overflow from the filter. Looks like a 2.0, so I would say no on the oil bath. My guess would be it is related to the head vent hose on the left, I would pull the hose off and inspect everything. Only 2 things that would carry oil vapor topside of the engine tin on a 2.0 would be the head vents or crankcase vent. |
