Saturday morning I went out to the garage to see if the motor was leaking after all the work I had done and I noticed a spot about the size of a 50 cent piece on the ground. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
I yanked out the jack stands and crawled under it to see WTF it could be. All I could see was that the bottom of the #1 cylinder was wet where it meets the case and the oil had flowed down to the sump plate where it then dripped to the ground. It looks like it's coming from above but I cant tell because of the shroud. Any ideas??? |

Sorry for my ignorance, but which one is #1? Closest to distributor or is it on the other side?
Any leaks at the cam tower oil lines on top? Do you have heater block off plates? remove one and look in there to see if it is coming from the topside. A mirror will help. If I had to venture a guess, and it is a leak coming from above, and if it shows up at the bottom of one of the cylinders on the pulley end, and it's not th e pressure sender and it's not the cam tower oil lines, I would suspect the rocker arm shafts. If not done correctly, they can leak. If the leak was running down the back of the cam timing covers, I would suspect the cam tower rubber 'o'-ring and triangular gasket. I've fixed several that leaked right there. Try to get the engine as dry as you can and then run it to try to determine the source of the leak. Pics might help. |
