Bad Oil Leaks

914 Carrera · 01-09-2006, 08:00 AM

I have a bad oil leak which I thought was coming from the main seal, I replaced the main seal over the weekend. I still have the oil leak. It leaks all over the top of the engine. the sending unit seems not to leak. maybe the oil cooler ? I did not check the oil cooler yet.

I have no idea any suggestions that may help.

oil cooler seals mostly likely. the fan blows the oil across the top of the engine.

There are also on gallery ports on the back side of the motor (3 I think). Some folks think that drilling them out and installing NPT plugs.

In my note to him earlier, I suggested the oil pressure sender, the oil cooler seals, and oil gallery plugs. I also suggested he check to see if the breather hoses were hooked up and the PCV valve as well, and just 'cause it's easy, to take a look at the oil cap and the oil breather tower gasket.
