I have a 1973 1.7. I noticed a small puddle on my garage floor this morning. I cleaned it up and have not seen any more. I looked under the car and I think it is coming from the small screen next to the oil filter. Can anyone tell me what this is and what I need to fix it? It seems tight, is there a seal? It was above 90 degrees when I drove it. Could it be related to heat?
Any help is appreciated Terry Attached thumbnail(s)
