As I get to know and love this 914 I bought back in July. I was looking around underneath yesterday and noticed an oil drip around a part I don't really know what it is??
Sorry just not that familiar with these cars thought maybe some of you could tell me a bit about what I'm looking at and where oil might be coming from.. I think its either a transmission breather or some kind of external filter?? Before I remove that clamp and look at what's there thought I might ask here first.. The oil seems to be coming from above it..  |

Transaxle oil is pretty pungent and has a very distinct smell. Your nose can tell you whether or not this is from the transmission or the engine.
