Just chasing all my leaks here. All my other fluids and leaks are stopped and good to go, just the oil now. It seems as though my oil cooler lines are leaky, and possibly my front engine cover.
I've got a leak between my engine and transmission. I've attached a picture and circled the areas where the the fresh oil seems to be coming from. What leak is this, and what is my fix?
It looks like it may be easiest to drop my oil pan to do the front engine cover leak, so if I need to drop the pan for this one, I'll do it all at once. Is this an RTV gasket? Or rubber, or a press fit seal?
My oil lines leaked like the whitehouse press office for quite some time. They are gone and now are most of my leaks. I am left with a minor drip from the steering cooling lines and a front seal. Given the quality of the seals removed from my engine, I am not surprised. Pretty much..garbage.
I can not have oil leaks. A good friend of my saved literately his whole life for a brand new driveway. He is so proud of it . It would totally break his heart to have me drip oil on it. No off street parking for a good distance.
Definitely oil and not trans fluid. I plan on doing the cooler lines today and degreasing all the wet spots. I'll keep an eye. Never heard of that inspection cover ill take a peak
My father used to tell a true story, well several stories really, about various trips made in
1920 vintage automobiles (Fords). One such story recounted the time he took off for Fla
from NJ. The engine leaked oil, so bad that he had to rig a dishpan underneath the oil pan
in order to catch the oil. He had to stop about every 20 miles or so to un-rig the dishpan,
pour the oil back into the engine, re-rig the dishpan, and continue the trip. He was finally
able to get the leak fixed in Miami. Talk about perserverance...
