well, i have some ideas, but they are not good. it looks like it is coming out of the dipstick tube, or around the breather box (?) under the oil filler neck. it is not leaking a huge amount, just getting the top of the engine wet, with some oil pooling on the engine tin.
i have replaced the gasket between the engine and the breather box thing. that seemed to do it, but only for short drives. today went about 20 miles, and fresh oil was on top of the engine. it seems to be coming out laterally, and not really spraying all over; just flows around after it is down. any ideas? thanks ahead of time. |

thanks for the insight, Gerard. i suspect that after 33 years the bail might need rebending a bit. the gasket sealer stuff sounds like i should get some. i hope this isn't my dipstick tube; one of the places oil pools is on the TOP of the dipstick flange. go figure.
i will investigate and repost. thanks again. Kevin, i may take you up on your offer of duct tape someday. but more importantly, i wonder where you got your synchrometer with the wide neck (for outside carb throat); everyone i have spoken to only has the rubber cone for inside the carb throat. |
