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??? |

My fresh 2.7 had a similar leak. It was from the "T" block which the oil sender screws into. There are a number of crush washers in that area. Make sure everything is snug. You may have to take a line loose to tighten things up.
Clean new oil is hard to see. One way to tell is to wad up part of a paper towel and stuff it under/around the connections in that area. If that is the source you will have no spot on the floor and an oily towel. |
