Hi, One question. There is a lot of oily crud next to the fan, where the oil-filler pipe goes through the rear warm-air plate - I have a theory that if I am leaking oil out of the oil-filler.pipe.junction, what happens is that it is sucked into the cooling air, and burned on the cylinders, as well as blown away as a fine mist - that could explain why I am loosing oil, (one liter / 350 km) without big clouds of blue smoke, as well as without a BIG poodle under the engine - that is VERY odd- it doesnt drip, it is oily underneat the engine - but is does not drip/poodle) Any input? Best regards Jens Jakob |
