Oil leak
I've traced down my oil leak to this area. Is this a crankcase vent hose? Any help is appreciated.

It will be imposible to point out the exact location of the leak from this picture.
Common leaking locations: Rear main seal Spark plugs tube Camshaft covers Ims cover You will have to get under the car and inspect these locations. Also look at the AOS. |
No, that is a picture of the tee where it is leaking. Connects to the crankcase. Leaking from the tee.

Will post close up from computer. Won't take an upload from my phone

Here is a close up of the part leaking:

The only hoses that I am seeing in your picture are coolant hoses. If you are leaking oil, it is probably running down from above then dripping from that hose. Check the plugs at the end of the camshafts.
Here's a pic I just got of a '99, looking up at that area: http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1457022906.jpg |
Will do this evening. Thanks

Here's a better pic. Is it the cam plug leaking? Spark plug tubes were just replaced. Engine is not being run.

spark plug tubes just replaced? o-ring probably didn't seat properly.

The challenge is to figure out where that drip is really coming from and it can be fairly hard to do.
Did it drip before the spark plug tubes were replaced? If not, then I'm with RadK and I would re-do the spark plug tubes on that side. If yes, and replacing the spark plug tubes was an attempt to eliminate the problem, then you'll have to keep looking for the source. |
