Oil oil everywhere....Help me!!!
Hey all you smart guys and girls! I need your help.
My 1992 SVX has a problem with not wanting to keep it's oil in the right places. I have talked to it many times but it wont listen. I have an oil leak(s) that seem to be from the front side or so it seems. When it leaks while driving pretty much, it blows down the front and sides and onto the hot exhaust causing nice smoke when i stop at a red light. Very Embarasing! not good for the SVXer right? I had the shop check it out and they replaced a couple hoses that they said were old and cracked. So i think ok it's good to go. I took a trip to Colorado and back to Utah 1000 miles went through 2 quarts all over the engine and exhaust. The other day i degreased the engine best I could on the front and bottom. The only new oil I see is from the rocker covers (both sides) and under the back side there is a lot dripping on what looks lke 3 or 4 small pipe/tubes running horizontal under the engine by the tranny. Are these pipes anything related? Or is there a spot on the back or back lower side of the engine that could leak a lot at high milage or high speed? I'm going nutz please give me all your advise. Thanks, Mark |
