Symptoms of clogged flame trap. 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Brad on  Tue Aug 27 14:33 CST 2002 [RELATED]

In the last few months my '87 240 has been showing some signs of a clogged flame trap even though it isn't. Things like small oil leaks from the filler cap, front seals, and valve cover as well as a puff of smoke on start up have me wondering. Although the flame trap and all the hoses it attaches to are clean is there a chance that the breather box itself is plugged. It looks like a real pain to get the thing out. Appreciate any advice and thanks to those who responded to my post a few days ago. Brad
