oil leakage
Had this weekend a big trip with the 911 (engine swap from 2.7 to 3.2)
Car runs very good BUT.... This morning a found a oil drip on the floor :-( Checked the engine and there is a little oil leakage vissible between the housing of the valves and the camshaft at cilinder 4. Can I do something to prevent this oil leakage, it really bother's me. Regards Porscheke |

I had not run the SC for about three weeks and found a puddle under the car.... It never leaked a drop before..
I had a look under this weekend and found the return tubes from the heads to the case were weeping oil. The guys at a local shop told me that when the oil equalizes for a period of time the oil level in the case will rise and the tubes could leak... I turned the tubes slightly to hopefully seal the o rings on the tubes... I think the perfectly sealed engine is like a perfect vacuum, not possible. Just one drip?
