Just bought a very nice looking 914. Very clean. Got a great deal on it even with the tired smoke pouring leaking engine. Seller was very nice. Went from $1700 to $1300, he paid the license transfer and then after he saw it smoking gave me $200 back!
Though I can't complain with this deal....the engine pours out oil! I mean bad! After the first highway jaunt I looked at the engine to find out where the leak might be from and the drivers side of the engine was covered in an oil pool. Down where the intake manifold connects. There is also some other hose (maybe oil?) right beside the intake tubes. I have worked on many v8's buy this is my first porsche. I don't know where to start. Can anybody help. Where are the most common places for these things to leak oil? |

the standard leaks that 1bad914 mentioned are either below the tin or on the other side of the engine - moto's leak (top driver's side) sounds like something else (pcv tube routing?)
post some pics of the area in question. welcome to the board! jbb |
