As I get to know and love this 914 I bought back in July. I was looking around underneath yesterday and noticed an oil drip around a part I don't really know what it is??
Sorry just not that familiar with these cars thought maybe some of you could tell me a bit about what I'm looking at and where oil might be coming from.. I think its either a transmission breather or some kind of external filter?? Before I remove that clamp and look at what's there thought I might ask here first.. The oil seems to be coming from above it..  |

Good day, Had a leak there as well. Replaced the shaft seal and the rubber ring. Take it apart and you will see. note : a friend of mine had a leak coming from one of the studs. He took the stud out and re-installed with some sealer. btw, the black crud is some kind of protection the factory applied to the transmission. It's some kind of tar that I painstakingly removed by chipping it away. I thought it was hardened grease but nope.. good luck Dax |
