Working on what I will now call Pandoras 914-6, I have managed to clean everything, find my #8 seal area leak and am dealing with it.
I pulled the clutch cause it looked a little oily and I located what you see in the photos. On a 914-4 I know there is an alignment dowel, but on this crankshaft, there looks to be a small metal plug. In that area, there is oil, and it matches the flywheel. I noticed there is no felt washer like on the 4 cylinder...and obviously the flywheel ring is thicker so there probably is no felt seal. The main seal seems pretty dry, it appears to be coming from this hole. Thoughts on this issue, I have never seen this before. Fixes? Thanks as always Attached thumbnail(s)
