I have an oil leak on my '76 that seems to not follow usual patterns. The leak only occurrs when the car is warming up. It doesn't leak when it's just sitting and it doesn't leak near as bad (almost not at all) once the car warms up. It drips off the oil filter, but I can see the oil dripping from the oil cooler above, onto the filter. At it's worst, it drips about a drop a second. I suspect the oil cooler seals, but, wouldn't that leak all the time, not just at warm-up? And it certainly seems like the drip wouldn't slow down when the car is warmed up if it was the cooler seals. I also kept an eye on the oil pressure sensor and didn't see any oil leaking in that area. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Tom |
