Hi again
Another oil problem with my 77' L285(1500A engine). I have posted here before and got great help. Thanks Smokin Dog.
This time what happens is when cranking the engine, oil seeps out of a hole in the engine block. The hole is to the left of the dip stick and an inch or so higher than the dip stick. I would say the hole is about 1/4" in diameter (the thickness of a pencil) If the engine is started(only let run a few seconds)the seeping becomes a forced stream of oil out of the hole.
Have tried the following simple things for a fix... oil and filter change, checked the relief/safety spring valve bolts in front of the oil filter mounting.
Not sure what else to try. The hole that is leaking dosent seem to have any threads from what I can see(and goes in 4-6") so I am not sure if there was a bolt there that worked itself out. Could send a pic if it might help.
Any info or suggestions would be appreciated!
Kevin
