You know the old adage, never say how great your car is running lest the Air cooled gods decide to wheel in and smite thee...
So I took the car out today, beautiful early September day, with my daughter, to look at a car for her. When I got home, I noticed a trail of drips in the driveway. Hmmmm... So after cleaning up underneath, my wife started it while I hoped to see from where it was leaking. Suddenly, here it comes, right down what appears to be the case, between the oil filter and the pushrod. Oil cooler seal? Wait, could it be the pressure sender? I gotta go see.

Gentlemen, thanks to all who've replied. I never even considered that the case threads might be damaged. Fortunately, when I removed the fitting from the case at the breakpoint, there was no apparent damage.
I shall do as suggested, and get myself a grease gun hose. Now I understand why they're used. Ian, that's a sweet looking kit. However, my inner Rube Goldberg is telling me I can make it happen with a GG hose, a clamp or two, and some IPA cipherin'... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Stay tuned |
