I have a 1984 242 with approximately 300K miles on it - due for some work in the shop. I'm not mechanical, but I try to be an informed novice. (I'll often supply parts from IPD to speed the process.)

I have a small oil leak near the power steering pump that I'm trying to identify. There is a light coating of oil on the intake pipe to my newly installed air mass meter - possibly kicked over by nearby fan belts? I've cleaned it off a few times. (See pictures.)

I do have a leak in my rear main engine seal, and I recently had the seal on the oil filler cap replaced. Is my PSP going out, or ??? Hopefully it's not a big problem.

Planned work:
- RMS
- Brake master cylinder
- oil change, spark plugs, etc.
- front strut mounts
- back bushings

Recently completed: new timing belt; battery and alternator brushes; rear wheel studs, rotors & brakes; hoses & AMM.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 

Try this in the engine and the power steering pump. Worked for me.
