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? |

Kevin, the oil pressure sending unit looks pretty clean; very little if any oil around it on the case. certainly nothing like the top of the engine. the puddling is largely immediately aft of the oil filler tower. i suspect the cork seal, but haven't checked it per se. that will have to be this evening.
as for venting: the oil filler tower vents to the three attachment fitting on the driver's/firewall side. the other two attachment points on that fitting each vent to an intake manifold base. is this right? thanks for the input. Harvey, the oil breather stuff seems to be tight, but it is possible i am not sure of what you speak; are you talking about a venting tube? or the fitting to which those attach? |
