it isn't very much, but a bit of oil is being sprayed up in the engine compartment. i got to drive the teener a good bit today, and when i checked the oil midway, i saw evidence of oil being sprayed up against the rain tray. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) not much, but spattering about on top of aircleaners, very small puddles on top of engine, that sort of thing. couldn't see from where it came. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
ran like a top, btw. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) any ideas? is it bad, and if so, how bad? |

spray like that maybe something around the fan. there are plugs there, also it could be your oil pressure sender. i would start looking in that area. it could also be a breather that came loose, etc
before you drive again, start the car then go pull the coil wire to get the engine to stall and make sure the oil light comes on, just an insurance thing |
