So three or four Thanksgivings ago I started up my Blue '74 2.0, pulled out of the garage, out on the side street and noticed my oil like come on. Shut the car off and walked home (later pushed the car back). On the walk, I noticed I had left an oil trail that ran from the middle of my cul-de-sac to where my car was parked. If I can remember, the weather was in the 50/60s.
Fast forward a few weekends from then and I swapped the engine out of my other 914 into the blue car. I tucked the oil-donar under the yellow '74 2.0. There it sat for that weekend. Finally got a bug under my butt to pull the aluminum fan housing off to see what happened. I had guessed an oil cooler gasket had bitten the bucket. Nope. See photos. Can this be fixed safely with all the metal shavings that will be made when tapping this for a plug? Attached thumbnail(s)
