Hi, iv just join the forums. Looking for insite and help on my Prosche. Im 19 andbot a 1976 911s about a year ago, runs a little hot and leaks a bit of oil. Any suggestions?

 

Start with flushing out the coolant system with a hose pipe for the "getting hot".
Can you determine where the oil is coming from?

Not really, it only leaks wil i put new oil in it. So for example, ill put 1/2quarts and it will leak for about 10 to 20 mins and then it will just stop, but when i look at the dip stick it shows that it is at the same level as it was prior to adding oil. I know im not over filling it, and it only leaks down to that spot every time.

 

Is it just leaking when it runs? Where is it leaking from? Have you done a compression test?

 

Dumb question, but are you using a funnel? Is the filler neck detached?

 

I never noticed it leak untill i would start it. Cant really tell where it is leaking from. And yes i use a funnel. I drive it one to 2 times a week at most, it also smokes bad if i dont start it for a few days.

 

Hi Clean the engine off with a spray on engine cleaner, then scrape and clean away the crap. You have got to be looking for a "non high pressure" leak or you would empty the sump. Do this with the car safely on axle stands, and with the engine as clean as possible, run the engine and see where the oil comes from.
I would be looking for a sump gasket leak, front/rear oil seal leak, timing case leak, or rocker cover leak for starters.

The smoke from sitting is common. Just didn't sound right that it only leaked when you added oil. Obviously when you start the car, you build pressure and that's when it leaks. Pressure wash the engine, start it and see where it's leaking from. Could be many possiblities.

 

I happen to know that Hot911TT is the biz at cleaning engines. I'm sure he would help. Big Bob

 

i agree
