You are approaching puddle territory where even Goughary will say you have a leak.

It's a fair amount of oil. I would investigate as i had mentioned above.

The good news is- you are going to find that it is an easy gasket to replace. 9 times out of 10, when it's a drip like you have, it's easy. Dive in.

Sorry for the delay, I did not have time to work on the 964 last days.
So today, I removed the muffler and plastic cover, unplugged the spark plug boot, and tried to reach the source of the leak. I can feel that the junction between timing case and camshaft case is very oily. So I think you were right !!



Is it curious or absolutely normal that both side gaskets fail at the same time ?

Thanks !

News of the day : I put the car back on the floor (new shocks are fitted now), and not a single drop of oil in 3 days... As I don't believe in self-resolving issues, do you guys know how to explain this ? I'm thinking of some trick thing about the oil circuit that I don't know ...
Thanks !

I put a GT-3 oil pump in mine when I did the rebuild. It seems to leak from the valve covers no matter what I do. It runs between 4 and 5 on the pressure gauge when not idling.

The leaks are a pain, but with over 180,000 miles, I'm not worried.

Hi !

Thanks for sharing this, this is good to know. 180000 miles is a respectable mileage, impressive !!!
