PeterCS Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I appear to have a few oil leaks going on. - one in the distributor area, see pic - another directly above the front suspension see pic - and there is oil near the guibo at the back of the tranmissioin. O ring for the distributor issue? Might I need an oil pan gasket? And Need new seal for the guibo? thanks as always.

tech71 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Based on the pic I would say its likely your oil pressure sender is leaking internally and needs to be replaced. Clearly not an 02 so I cant speculate on the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Marty Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Peter have you ever used the search here? It seems like it's easier for you to ask questions that have been answered many many times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Self Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Looks like an E21--that's a rack & pinion steering box in the bottom picture...The leak in front may be the front crank seal, or valve cover gasket, or the gasket between the upper and lower timing chain covers. Clean the whole area off real well, then drive the car and look for the oil's origin. Blowing a little flour or cornstarch over the area will make the leak source more visible. mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
