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. |

ne winfo/ speculation. oil only appears after engine gets good and hot, then seems to be spraying (?) from about the height of the gasket on the breather assembly (if that is what the think is called that the oil filler ncek bolts to), and only on the left side of the car. not a lot of oil is involve here, though i only had an hour total run time on saturday. so, here is my ideal...
last fall i put on new breather tubes, and i used 1/2 inch fuel line from the FLAPS. is it possible that the fit is not snug enough to keep a tight seal after the rubber warms up? the leak seems to come from the area around the three way fitting by the dipstick tube. opinions? would hose clamps fix it? i guess i could try. |
