Default oil leak 850

I have a 1996 850 GLT and noticed oil everywhere underneath the bottom of the engine. Any advice in locating the cause?

Default RE: oil leak 850

Greetings from Vermont.

Check the following locations:

1. Oil filler cap
2. Oil level dipstick
3. Oil cooler lines/connections
4. Oil thermostat (device located on the right of the crank pulley, where 2 oil cooler lines are attached to)
5. Oil filter
6. Oil pan gasket
7. Crank seal

Also, make sure to post your questions in the 850 section to receive more replies, people there are extremely knowledgeable & skilled.

Good luck,


JPN

Clean the engine really good.
Then test drive and recheck for the leak.
