I fired up my brand new 2056 and after my engine break in (12 minutes) I had a texas sized puddle under my car (im guessing a quart). It came from the oil cooler side, in that area. I dont know if pics would even help, but is there any way to check that my oil cooler seals seated properly? Originially I thought my galley plug wasnt fully seated (i drilled and tapped the galleys), but that appears to be snug. Or is there possibly something else in the area that would leak?

Good suggestion. I was going to check that last night while I was in there, but I had to make a quick run to the ER (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) all is well though and i'll get back under there on thursday to check that out along with the source for the leak (i blasted the area after i gouped up the seals and ran it, so only new oil should be there). |
