Hey guys…
Hoping someone can help out.
Looking for a picture of the front of the engine. The bentley manual I have doesn’t have a good diagram of it and I would actually rather see an actual picture of the front of the engine.
Here’s the details on the leak:
It’s intermittant, and only when the engine is at operating temperature. Does not leak while car is parked, does not leak (or appears not to leak) while the car is running. It basically spits out oil from somewhere when the engine is cranking. This car has 120,000Km on it (75,000miles)
Checked the oil pans, but oil is coming from higher up then the lower oil pan… about mid way up the engine block.
I am leaning towards crankshaft seal or oil pressure switch. I have some more troubleshooting to do, but if anyone has had an oil leak like this I’d like to hear what your story was with it.
Once I do repair this (I’m certain I’ll have to put it into service position, and replace the belts, coolant and whatever else is accessible with that off) I’ll document the repair in case someone else gets this problem.
Thanks.
