Oil Cooler Thermostat 850 1997

My car is doing the same thing regarding oil. While I had the thermostat off, oil would magically appear on the block where the thermostat housing attaches. This made no sense, where would the oil come from? The thermostat housing was dry and cleaned off, the engine had not run for a few days (I took time off to do other things while the car was on the jack stand).

I am also going to check the cam seals and the oil pump seal. The 'leak' isn't bad, one drop on the garage floor overnight after a 30 minute 'hot' run. Of course, when I disconnected the top cooler hose it leaked a lot of oil and will keep any rust away for a few years. To say nothing about pouring oil all over the sub frame. A real mess! I may even attempt to clean it up sometime.

Know anybody that wants a 1995 855T?
