Hi all, new 914 owner here. Loving the car, but of course it has some oil leaks, for now. The previous owner disclosed that the pushrod tube seals were leaking (and they are!) and also the oil temperature sensor seal area.
I am also getting a few drips from the, what I think to be, the dust boot on the gear shift linkage. Total noob here, so bear with me. Could this just be blowback from the other oil leaks, which arent too bad really, or could something really be leaking from here. The attached pic is not my car, but that is where the oil is dripping from. Its just a dust boot, right? Its not really sealing anything is it? Thanks! Attached image(s)
