I have a 1973 1.7. I noticed a small puddle on my garage floor this morning. I cleaned it up and have not seen any more. I looked under the car and I think it is coming from the small screen next to the oil filter. Can anyone tell me what this is and what I need to fix it? It seems tight, is there a seal? It was above 90 degrees when I drove it. Could it be related to heat?
Any help is appreciated Terry Attached thumbnail(s) |

Verify two things. One the leak is not coming from the oil sending unit located just to the right of the dizzy is not leaking.
Also verify that the oil is not coming from the oil fill tube. The gasket below that can leak oil and allow it to run down. Also I would invest in a cheap USB camera for your lap top, tablet, or phone. You can get for around $25 on Amazon. Spend some time looking around with it before you go down the path of replacing the oil cooler seals. Because replacing the oil cooler seals is an engine drop job. |
