    How to repair an oil leak....

    Copied from http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=102133

    Last week, I posted this thread...

    http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=101947

    After all the work put into this engine, cleaning and painting everything, the oil leak was bothering me.

    When driving, it would drip, and blow oil all over the oil pan, etc.

    As a temporary fix, I decided to make a stainless steel bracket that would hold a Tampon over the leak, and absorb it, so the oil wouldn't end up everywhere.

    Here it is...



    Here's where the leak is...just above the pointer, on the seam...


    We're getting ready...


    Had to figure this out, first timer


    Bracket's in place...


    Tampon's in...no need for that long string...


    Viola!!...


    Ready to leak once more. I hope I only have to change it once a month!

    Looks like an awful nice paint job on that motor to attach a tampon.

    I'm going to assume its a joke and move along
