Oh crap, belt broke, or so i thought.
Noticed that the engine spun up a little quicker when the light was on. Hmm... Hurried home. Pulled in the driveway, and looked under the car and it's burping oil all over the place!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Crap, pull it in the garage and shut it down. Let it cool. Opened the deck lid and checked the burp box to see if maybe it was overflowing or something. Nope. Put her up in the air, pulled off the tin by the alternator, and checked the belt. Still there. Hmm... Run my hand along the belt. To the fan, and the fan is moving fore and aft. Belt still on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) At this point I am not sure what the issue is, so I start the process to drop the motor. Pull the carbs, disconnect linkage, yada yada.... Plan is to drop the motor and pull the tin and take a closer look. Anyone have this happen before? What was it? What should I be on the lookout for? I assume I will replace the front main seal, the oil pump seal and the oil cooler seals while I am in there, but anything else I should be looking for? Please let me know. TIA |

Was too hard to see where the leak was coming from with the engine in the car, so it needs to come out. I am hoping the leak source will be obvious, but we'll see.
I was hoping that it was only oil on the fan belt, but it felt dry to me, so I don't think that was the issue. Going to drop the engine this week and go from there. Going to do a few "while you're in there" jobs on the engine bay too. |
