I have a leak that seems to be coming from my oil cooler seals on the six . The oil cooler is stock.
I don't remember how many bolts are on top . Can someone post a picture showing all the bolts locations . It seems like I can replace the seal without dropping the motor, can I ? Attached thumbnail(s)

A couple days ago I could have shown that, my car is back together now though.
There are 2 13mm nuts on the top and 2 on the bottom. There are 2 small seals near the top and one large seal on the bottom for the through-pipe. With the normal 914-6 engine setup, it is possible to remove while the engine is still in the car, but not worth it as it takes so much more effort for several things. Also,with the engine in the car you will need to remove the heat exchanger on the left side (unless you go crazy and remove everything up top to get the whole shroud off). So, instead of replacing 2 cheap CV joint gaskets and dropping the engine, you need 3 expensive exhaust gaskets and have to attack a lot of the top pieces through the engine lid and do some things blind. |
