Full Version: Oil Leak Repair
I'm trying to fix a small oil leak on the drivers side of the motor (Passenger side if it's in a 911). I was advised to jack the car up so it is leaning towards the passenger side to allow any residual oil to flow over and away from the drivers side of the motor. It makes sense, but after I got to thinking, the oil tank is on the drivers side so wouldn't that encourage the oil to flow towards to passenger side and just fill up the case?
I should probably wait until tomorrow.
Or maybe 2 or 3 days.....

No. The tank will drain down as the engine cools, but it won't be a problem. Your engine's a 2.7, so plan on leaks. As long as they're minor, you'll probably have to live with them. The Cap'n
