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? |

I've had a problem like this on both 914's I've owned. Both times it turned out to be the oil pressure sending unit. Leak was hard to identify because it wouldn't leak at idle - only at high oil pressure (high rpm). It would 'mist' oil all over. You say problem is on driver side, which is oposite the oil pressure sender... but I'd have a look at it anyway. When mine was leaking it would even get oil residue on the back window.
