i finally had little time to check out oil leak in my 1975 1.7.
i initially thought i needed to replace my push rod seals to fix the leak.
a friend suggested to clean the bottom of engine and fill the oil and check 10 minutes to see if i can find where the leak is coming from. what i found is it is not the push rod seal but from top of the push rods. it looks like a cooling fin for the pistons. there is no black smoke when the engine is running. i am hoping it is not a blown piston or anything very serious. i usually top off the oil about 1 quart a week.
my friend thinks it might be from the oil cooler. what other parts that might leak on top of the push rods?
thanks guys
