lil oil leak

Mista 2 · 10-28-2008, 08:10 AM

Hello all,

I have a small oil leak in my black top and it is annoying my to no end. It is above the air con so it makes the belt slip. My point is, does anyone have any idea what it could be? it does not look like the filter and there is no oil on the headers so i know i didnt spill it and it rules out a lot of normal leaks.

Any help would be gr8

Thanks

Jordan

Top half of the motor, driver's side is where it's coming from then.

First suspect would be the valvecover gasket. Fixing this may be as easy as torquing the valve cover bolts down. Double check that they are tight.

Next thing it could be is one of the cam seals.

Should be one of these two items.

do you know what torque settings the bolts need to have?

hey, might want to check your Oil Pressure Switch as well. I have a 1991 turbo with a 1993 engine and i had mad oil leak from both valve cover and that switch which was what got on my belts.
