Next Oil Leak Type 4

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Owen Snell, May 23, 2013.

  1. With a new crank seal at the rear (fan end) of the engine, I still have an oil leak around the fan. As before, it doesn't appear moving short distances, but does once I'm out on the road. Rather makes it hard to find! Any other ideas please?
     
  2. Just had a look around that area on my spare engine. Near the fan you have a few plugs for the oil galleries and also the oil pump. Anyone of these could be weeping when the oils hot and under pressure.

  3. Can you see up by the oilcooler maybe worth a check?
     
  4. Thanks, will have a look. Not as bad underneath as before now the main seal is done, but still some oil leaking.
