I'm having trouble figuring something out. I'm getting fresh oil on the shroud under the passenger side carb. It's accumulating where I've highlighted in red in the picture. There's no fresh oil on the exhaust, leaking from the valve covers, or any large leakage under the car.
I changed the oil yesterday, noticed oil oil there when I did, cleaned it up, and took it on a 30 mile drive. Checked this morning and there's new oil there. I can't figure it out. Thoughts? I checked oil levels and they're fine. Just a wee hair above the line. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-25787-1629484094.1.png) |

Did you check the oil pressure sending unit or the tap in that area? It's damn near a 1/8"npt thread but it is metric. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks, these are the suggestions I need. I haven't owned a 914 in over ten years and there are heaps of things I forgot. |
