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. |

Clean everything up really good, spotless, no oil. Run the daylights out of the thing, so you know it's spit oil wherever it's leaking. Park the car in the garage and wait until dark. Pull out your handy-dandy groovy mini blacklight, 'cause engine oil, transmission fluid, and other petroleum based products will flouresce under the most hip blacklight!
