spilled/pooled brake fluid

The cap to the brake fluid reservoir was loose! Is it more likely the the fluid came from out under the cap or overflowed from that line there?

left engine bay

What is the orange cap? I assumed it was the distributor, but I'm not positive.

right engine bay


cracks in CIS? hose

Use the left engine bay picture for location reference. Is this hose actually part of the CIS system? I haven't been able to get a good labeled diagram of the CIS cars' engine bay. This hose could very well be for something else unrelated. But if it is part of the CIS system, I'd be worried about the whole unmetered air issue.

big cracks at the other end of the same hose.

These worry me a lot more, as far as unmetered air being let in goes.

oil/? leak right behind distributor

hmmm, can't think of what could be leaking that.

wetness/oil? beside the right head

This seemed to be water based and not oil based. Not sure though. It was a very light film. Given the car's storage and infrequent use, it's either very fresh (the car was fired up before I got there) or very old.

oil/? on floor of airbox

I was surprised to see this when I took off the top of the airbox. Is the airbox supposed to fit loosely, without a gasket or rubber seal? That's how it was in this car.

metal opening into the top inside of airbox is oily/greasy

I have no idea how CIS works but I assumed that inside the airbox is just air, and not fuel-air mixture. Would backfiring cause liquid to come back into the airbox?

dashboard
