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)

It is not necessarily an engine-drop job, but replacing them with the engine in is done working basically blind, with a dab of grease holding the new seal onto the end of a screwdriver. And R&Ring the cooler retaining nuts about 1/12th of a turn at a time. IIRC, Clay has even replaced the whole cooler without dropping the engine!
Though dropping the engine isn't a huge chore, so I would do that instead. --DD |

You have to remove the studs to get the cooler out that way. And the only way to remove the studs is with vice grips. Won my class in AX the next day. Drove it home at the end of Parade. Yes, it can be done with the engine in the car. But it is much easier to just drop the motor and pull the fan shroud. |
