I am a new 914/6 owner and I finally spent the weekend driving the car. One thing I have noticed is the sound of oil entering the oil tank. It is a bit un nerving as it periodic. Basically it sounds like oil pouring from the top of the tank down to the bottom. It is a function of engine speed. Could there be anything wrong with the oil tank plumbing? I have not examined the oil system too closely. The car has the original oil tank but the car also has a 914/6 GT front mounted oil cooler. I have never driven another 914/6 but would not be too suspicious except that the previous owner included another factory 914/6 oil tank in the deal.
If anyone else has this same sound I would feel better. Evan McGreevy 70 914/6 #892 |
