Hi everyone, I picked up a 75 914 last summer and have finally gotten it running well enough to drive (which I want to do!). The problem is, a substantial oil leak that I thought I'd fixed is still there. Previously, it would spray oil from the lower drivers side at revs above idle. Not finding a clear source, I dropped the motor and resealed the oil pump, which really seemed like the issue. Motor back in now and the leak is the same. It seems to rev or crankcase pressure related, but now I'm thinking pushrod tubes or valve cover gasket. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
I'll give a proper introduction with some photos soon. Cheers! |

That is great information about the Tstat roller going all the way through the case. I did not realize this and have been stumped as to why my Tstat roller always has a small drop of Brad Penn 20W50 on it. I'll pull that bolt and add some thread sealer.
Love this site... |
