I have recently found a puddle of oil on the drivers side engine shelf, nothing on the passenger side. This is the second time I have found this. The first happened after a long drive, this time was after a 30 min ride. The only change has been a valve adjustment. But I don't understand how a valve adjustment would cause oil to pool on top of the shelf. Any ideas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Most D-Jet heads had them, not sure yours do (i only see that you have a 2056) If so, one of them might be leaking blowby and oil on that one side. I hope this helps. |
