Re: Leaks, leaks and more leaks... 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul D. on  Mon Dec 3 08:08 CST 2001 [RELATED]

You're on the right track, and Yes, there is a LOT in the oil filter area that can leak oil. (and they all probably are, bite the bullet and redo them all...)

Turbo drain pipe: gasket at top, o-ring at the bottom

Oil cooler lines: one copper crush washer each:

Oil filter assembly/arm whatever you want to call it: there's one oring about an inch from the filter, and another one where it meets the block, as well as a copper crush washer for the big ~30ish mm "bolt" holding it to the block.

About $20 in seals, and a messy messy evening under the car, but so worth it. (Not hard, just messy.)

If you want to finish the ventalation cleaning job, check out this link: I would try doing the job without removing the manifold first, to see if you can. (I was able to.) http://cc926945-a.nhaven1.in.home.com/oiltrap.html

Good luck!
