Re: Oh no...Oil Leak



In a message dated 97-01-30 19:12:15 EST, you write:

<< ......did I mention that this is an engine oil leak and not a hydrolic
leak?
  >>

O.K.  That's what I thought when I was originally going to reply, so...

First thing to do would be to pressure wash the engine (covering the
distributor, natch).  Then drive the car alittle to see where the leak is
coming from.  Valve Cover is most common, but it could also be distributor
seal if its at the back left upper part of engine.  If its a real slow leak,
you might want to get some tracing powder.

just my $.02
