I used to see a little bit , a few drops here and there, but now since changing to the Brad Penn have a mess on the garage floor
Not sure where from but seems it could be from the oil cooler seal? i cant really see for sure. i dont see any major leaking from the push rod tube seals, but these should be replaced anyway, they look original - car is 75 2.0, i have lots of documents from p.o's but nothing to show any problems here before- I have had it for 2 years., only about 2,000 miles on it since then, but about 130,000 on the original engine, - good compression , car runs good now that the F.I has been competely redone. just wondering if the oil change could have been part of the issue - i was using a straight weight conventional oil . maybe about 500miles of driving with the brad penn, - did notice it right away, and not coming from the filter. pw. |
