240 - new oil leak

'89 240 wagon, 267K, regular maintenance, last timing belt change at



237K

Oil/filter change less than 600 miles ago, oil light came on when slowing down at intersection. Pulled into parking lot, opened hood and entire engine compartment covered in oil film. From fan blades back. heavy deposit on upper & lower radiator hose.



Oil seal behind timing belt???? What else??????



Thanx.



Check flame trap. If its clogged you can blow oil out from many places.

Sounds like it, I've seen a clogged flame trap blow out the camshaft and aux shaft seals, it can also blow the rear main (MUCH more work to fix) or the front crankshaft seal, which may as well get changed with the other two front seals.

Il faut changer la pompe à huile et les coussinets de bielles... bon courage! M.Evide. "Jeff Townsend" a écrit dans le message de news: snipped-for-privacy@nycap.rr.com...
