First post here, but I've been lurking here for some time now! Anyway I'm the proud owner of a 1975 914 set up for autocross with a serious oil leak coming from the cylinder, (i think). Could i have a cracked cylinder? The oil (and also looks like exhaust pulses) is coming out between the 3rd and 4th cooling fin on the # 3 cylinder. Pics are attached of the cylinder (circle around the area where the oil is landing) and the underside of the tin. The oily area on the tin is from the same cylinder (#3). I planned on a rebuild (the car sat in a garage for three years) over the winter but i hoped to autocross it once or twice before the winter. Please help. I'm having withdrawl pains from lack of autocross!!
Thanks, Dominic Attached image(s) |

914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn. Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598 |
Take this for what is worth. Free advice ain't worth much. It looks like the cylinder to head seal is gone. A rebuild looks like a good winter project. I'm kind of conservative so I'd probably not run it, but AX is sure a nice way to stir up the hemarhoids. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)
