914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Leaking oil
Posted by: 930cabman Jul 16 2023, 05:15 PM
Fresh 2056 (2022) engine is running well, but a pesky oil leak has been a down side from day one. Need to be careful if parking at a friends (or enemies) driveway. I don't have 100% cure, but I have isolated it to the front seal/oil pump area over the past couple weeks. I was determined to find it this weekend and removed the engine bar, propped the engine up with a 4x4 and warmed her up good. It took awhile (170 ish oil temp) to get a leak going, but the studs/nuts holding the oil pump cover were leaking. The front seal area looks great, the gasket(s) between the oil pump/case and oil pump/cover look good also. Hopefully new sealing washers and sealing nuts will get things dried up.

Good luck. Oil leaks on the front of the case (or anywhere) can be very stubborn and annoying.

I have been watching your progress. Hopefully the brass plug will take care of things.

Schadek 26mm. seems odd to be leaking at the threads

I smeared some "The Right Stuff" on the back of the nuts and a little on the threads. No leaks.

These worked well on the T-1 30mm pump and put them on my t4 pump too

Got em, they are on the way. Along with a soft (crush) washer, it should do the trick

I would suggest the sealing nuts without washers--on mine the nuts have sealed without problems. But they are single use.
