Re: ENGINE OIL LEAK 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Ringlee on  Fri Dec 1 05:21 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Since this is a 700 and not a 200, George's comment number 2 does not apply. There is a 90% probability that number 1 comment pinpoints it: leaking front seals. My crank seal let loose and a truly amazing quantity of oil was pumped out.

Check your flame trap for plugging and poor crankcase ventilation at the same time you fix the seals. This may be the cause of the leak.

Get this fixed ASAP and don't drive the car except to the mechanic.
