Hi,
I just found where my engine leaks.
It's not the clutch pushrod, not the drive sprocket, not gear change axle and not the crank.
It's the egnine halfs on LHS. Area between alternator and clutch pushrod.
It seems like a previous owner that worked on the engine have tried to fix the leakage with silicone
What to do?
Naturally, the best thing is to split cases, and fix whatever causes the leakage. Bad gaskets or damaged cases is my guess, but I rather not split the cases, not now when the season just started.
Don't sure yet how mutch it leaks, maybe it's not so bad and I can drive it this season. But after a ten minute ride I got a couple stains on the garage floor.
Can I try do like the PO did, fix leakage from the outside somehow. Is silicone really a good solution? Do I have any other options?
I've seen stuff like "Seal savers" that is used to prevent leakage. Not sure if they work in engines or can cause damage, maybe they just work on transmissions and brake systems?
Help and constructive tips are much appriciated.
