oil leak

posted by  someone claiming to be moles on  Sat Nov 2 08:51 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I think oil is leaking form my oil return line on an 94' 945T, but it also looks like it could be leaking from the oil filter mounting.It looks like it is blowing back on the rest of undercarriage i thought that the return line was under no pressure There are two rubber hoses coming form the oil filter mounting with hose clamps one with a copper nipple that is sealed and the leads back up into the block, can I replace these hoses if so where do i get them, if it is the oil return line am I better to try and put sealant around it for now or go ahead and take the line off and replace, where can I get replacement parts. any and all suggestions would be appreciated

    The hoses contain coolant, not oil. Pull the oil line from below and replace both the gasket and seal (cheap!).

    My 745Ti was leaking around the oil return line at the block. I used lacquer thinner to clean that area up- really cleaned it up as in no oil residue, especially in the seam between the tube and the block. Then I used one of GE's high grade silicones to fill the seam and contiunued to coat the tube and block until it looked like a "weld" of silcone between the tube and the block. I then let it set up until I was sure it was completely cured. I forget how long this was but 24+ hours. That was 2 1/2 years ago and it hasn't leaked a drop since.
