4 Happy shakedown days for the 914 at MUSR! Car on the road for the first time in a year! Serious oil leak! Quart per hour. Oil pooling all over the top of the motor and smoking out the engine lid, not burning oil. Eye after eye looked at what might be the obvious and we all missed this one...

A MISSING CRANK CASE BOLT - RIGHT ON TOP - IN PLAIN SIGHT!. Granted, I missed it for a year. Also, I havn't done a die test (suggested) yet and will still be cleaning the bottom of the motor tomorrow and then go on the search for the leak. I want to fill in the hole, can it be a bolt from Home Depot? Special size? Locktite? What should it be torqued to? What should the other bolts I can get to be torqued to? Are they all the same? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Do you think this is enough to let a quart per hour pop out the top of the motor? [color=#000099] Suggests please - especially if you had lots of oil all over the top of the motor. Thanks guys! Bill Attached thumbnail(s)
