Oil leak troubleshooting... Posted by Rob [Email] (#1828) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Rob) on Sat, 18 Nov 2000 09:53:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I know it's a hard question to answer, but I've developed a pretty nasty oil leak on my 1989 900S. I can say that it is not coming from the filter or drain plug. The oil is dripping off of the "ribbed"-appearing metal case that is towards the passenger compartment, directly in the center of the vehicle. I have a picture below showing where the oil is dripping from. I realize that the oil is probably just draining down from another seal/location onto this part of the engine (is it the transmission case?)
I noticed multiple drips (about three) forming. The oil spots on my driveway have only appeared within the last month, and I've lost about a quart of oil in that time!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to take it in to my mechanic next wednesday to get it fixed. Just wanted some expert (i.e. owner's) opinions
thanks,
Rob Catron
