Hello! I finally decided it was getting cold enough to put the bicycle away and buy a car, so I just bought a 1992 245 with a 5-speed. It was cheap, so naturally it has problems, and I am taking care of them one-by-one.

So, why I made this thread? The car leaks oil, from the back of the valvecover gasket from what I can tell. When I was researching I found that a clogged flametrap (PCV system?) can cause excessive pressure in places and that my rear cam seal may have gone as well. I was going to go ahead and buy the valvecover and front/rear cam gaskets, and do all of that. But I was just looking in the trunk and found these!


Did the previous owner leave me a little gift? One of the two smaller rings has 2 small holes in it, the other has 3. I'm not sure what the big one is. Can someone identify these gaskets for me? Is this what I need or should I go spend the $10 on new ones? Thanks!

Here is the car, by the way, 245xxx miles.

 

Looks like 2 cam seals and a crank seal.

Welcome to the forum.

 

These seals go in the front, and they are the old seals the PO replaced and for some reason kept. The holes are there because that's how some take them out... Since your leak is in the back, you don't need to worry about these seals--throw them away and address the back.

 

Thanks! Just ordered my seals
