weird oil leak

Whizbang · 04-01-2009, 11:27 AM

i would think that its the little o-ring in between the front cover and the front iron. Its on the same side of the engine, and sees full oil pressure. Might have helped caused the leak to form. Hard to say. Just a theory. You can see the area for in the picture below.

I decided to drop the car off at Rotary Performance yesterday. If the engine was blown I would have dropped the enigne and rebuilt it my self - couldn't hurt anything. But since it wasn't I decided to let the pro's do it and learn about engine covers another day.

I want to get a hold of a blown small block and tear it down to get my hands dirty.

I should have the car back in two weeks.

I am excited. I should get my car tomorrow or on Monday depending if I can get to Garland on a Friday afternoon before they close.

In the words of Chris at RP "you had an impressive oil leak".

They are also going to get base line dyno pull before I add more stuff.

Got the car home. They also found a broken drivers side motor mount. No dyno run - stupid mustang was hogging it all day i gues.

FYI - RP does not use a gasket for the front cover or oil pan. They also don't use a pan support.

I am glad a I took the car there. The team at RP is awesome.
