Oil Leak - Should i be concerned?
i have the motor out of my 964 on the stand. the other day i flipped it vertically, 1-3 bank straight down and 4-6 bank straight up. oil started coming out from between the cam tower and the chain housing, where the camshaft goes through. i know there is an o-ring an a gasket in between there. it does not seem logical that oil should come out from there. quite a bit of oil too. i flipped it the other way to see what would happen and some oil came out, but not nearly as much as on the other side.
is this normal? doesn't seem to me like it should leak through there. i'll have to remove the chain gears, ramps, etc to get to that and fix/change those gaskets and o-rings
any suggestions are appreciated
