Hi!
I have oil leaking from the air filter in my 1973 914 2.0 FI. So I did a test, and I unplugged the breather hoses, attached them to a canister and went for a ride. After driving about 50 km (30 miles or so), there was a lot of oil in the recipient and on the engine. I know oil vapors is supposed to come out from the head breathers, but my engine is spitting oil through the breathers. What could be the reason? I just got the cylinders overhauled, and I'm quite unhappy to see that. Cheers! JF |
