Big 6 oil question

Sep 20, 2006 4 Replies

The big 6 in the 54 pickup leaks a fair amount of oil if it's started after sitting for a day or two, looks like it may be coming from the timing cover area. If it's been run it doesn't seem to leak. Any thoughts?


It's a Studebaker, and that's where it's supposed to leak?

bah dum dum Pah!

Yeah, the famous Studebaker anti rust proofing design.

Heh, I guess that shoulda been either 'rust proofing' or 'anti rusting' design.

check your road draft tube?

if that's not it, just replace the gaskets.
