Hey everyone. I bought this 914 2.0L back in November and have been slowly preparing it for the track. The underside was pretty messy with oil when I got it. I got the impression that the push rod tubes were the source of the oil so I decided to go ahead and replace them, their o-ring seals, and adjust the valves. That project went well. I was doing other engine maintenance (ignition, exhaust, etc...) items and have now finally gotten around to being able to crank the engine up.
When I got is started I noticed there is still a bit of an oil leak coming from the 1-2 bank. Initially I blamed my install of the push rod tubes. After a close inspection I noticed the oil is coming from higher above. I took a few pics last night after running the engine for 10 min or so. It was not easy to photograph because of lighting. The red circles show where the oil is. The bottom picture shows the push rod tubes and the seals.

It looks like the oil is either coming from the cylinder/crankcase interface and migrating to the lowest point on the tin, or from the head/cylinder interface.
In either case, it won't amount to much of a leak. |
