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. |

ok ok, i have hose clamps on the breather hoses. took the car to work yesterday, about a 40 minute drive. very fun, btw. leaked oil out of the same nondescript place. soo...
this morning i was poking around and felt that the breather box could tip back just a hair. so, off comes the clamp, previously thought to be tight, and with the help of vise grips and a pair of channel locks, put a bit more of a bend on there. we shall see if that works. the spray pattern always looked like it cam from that area. stay tuned for an update this afternoon or evening. |
