OK, so my "bonus" 914 is a stock 2.0 engine. I drove it to work once. Parked it on the street and covered it. It rained a couple days past and I was out of town over the weekend. I took out the trash last night and noticed a dark puddle coming from under the car (rear right side) seeping to the curb. I was warned there were leaky seals but told it was drivable.
So my question is, how much of a leak is too much? Do I just put some 20/50 in every time I go for a drive? I assume the 4-cyl 2.0 engine oil also needs to be checked while the engine is running (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)
