RE: [T3] Oil Leak!


Sounds like your oil cooler seals...I am not sure how you get at them in a
squareback(in my bus I need to pull the engine)...

Subject: [T3] Oil Leak!

Hi Folks... I'm trying to diagnose the source of my oil leak and thought I
would tap the vast knowledge of the list.  I degreased the engine last night
to clean things up a bit to track the source of the leak.  The leak drops in
multiple places below the engine leading me to believe it was just
dispersing from the top/side somewhere.  While reving the engine to about
2000 rpm I could see the oil being forced/blown from under the oil cooler
onto the top of the engine case.  Other than that, I can't see where the oil
leak is coming from.  Is it the cooler itself?  What are some other areas I
might want to double check.

I put a quart in every few days, and I'm worried about taking it approx. 200
mi. to Angel's Camp this weekend.

TIA
