OK, so my "bonus" 914 is a stock 2.0 engine. I drove it to work once. Parked it on the street and covered it. It rained a couple days past and I was out of town over the weekend. I took out the trash last night and noticed a dark puddle coming from under the car (rear right side) seeping to the curb. I was warned there were leaky seals but told it was drivable.
So my question is, how much of a leak is too much? Do I just put some 20/50 in every time I go for a drive? I assume the 4-cyl 2.0 engine oil also needs to be checked while the engine is running (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Rich Towle determined that one pizza box per week's worth of dripping or less was an appropriate amount. He was unclear about what size of pizza or what toppings were included.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) So that's what I've been doing wrong. This whole time I've been using a regular cardboard box folded up. Pizza box it is.
