oil leak

Featured Replies

Hey maybe someone else has come across a similar oil leak. Red arrow points to the highest point I could trace the leak to. First guess I have is that it is coming from the oil pan seal.

Did you check the rocker cover, bottom side by the distributor?  Difficult to see without using a mirror. Your oil pan is very clean and it appears the oil is squirting out above the pan.

Considering the amount of oil on the frame and what appears to be running off of it, i would suggest the cam tower o-ring is blowing out oil.

Is the cam case o-ring on the forward end of the left head and the firewall end of the right head?

yes, they are opposite, as the heads are cast the same, but on opposite sides of the motor face opposite directions.

Oh Lord, same leak I been chasing.*  About to RPG my  :angry:  ea82 over it. Thank you for this post and the engine picture, I will check mine too.
