Re: HELP!!HELP!! OIL ALL OVER HOT MOTOR 200 89

posted by  someone claiming to be Herb on  Mon Jan 1 06:10 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Assuming that oil cap seal's OK, it sounds like either a clogged flame trap and/or oil trap housing (worst case), the large black plastic thing under the intake manifold by cyl #3. Remove the flame trap and pour oil into the opening for the large plastic oil trap below it (use a hose or something) or try blowing through it. It should drain but if not, it's clogged and needs replacing (happens from poor maintenance, lack of frequent oil changes).

When examining the flame trap, make sure the vacuum hose and vacuum nipple to it (on the manifold) is also not clogged.
