dustytony Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 86 2.5L. I seem to have some kind of oil leak but can’t pinpoint where it’s coming from(I haven’t looked too far into it) Where are some common areas that this would happen from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 the only time I've ever had spraying oil is from a bad oil filter (if I remember right the crimp had failed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRodder Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Is it coming out the dipstick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat1991 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 What a mess. It could be spraying out of your dipstick tube if your PCV/CCV system is clogged causing pressure to build up in your crank case. Can't say for sure if you have PCV or CCV in your '86. Things get kind of fuzzy in the years around the transition from carb to TBI. It could also be a very small drip that's just being blown around by the engine fan. Some tips: 1) Hose everything down with degreaser. 2) Check the crankshaft ventilation system for clogs. 3) Observe valve cover, breather lines, dipstick, filter and front crankshaft seal for signs of leakage.
