It’s definitely coming from a part of the mag it shouldn’t… Never say “definitely” with oil. Crazy airflow everywhere in the engine compartment, even back there, and the oil just spreads so easily. I’d probably look at the mag gasket first, then go to your other more exotic leak locations on the mag. Be prepared to not find it right away! Quote
EricJ Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 It's pretty easy to pop the mag off and see if there's oil inside it if the seal has failed or signs of it leaking around the gasket. Those gaskets are cheap and easy to replace. It's probably a good idea to just replace it if you pop the mag off, anyway. Quote

carusoam Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 Great follow-up, Jon! Thanks for sharing that... Wonder where that seal is... on the engine side, or mag side? whatever seal stopped working needs to be replaced... make sure you know where that is... so you don’t fill the OH’d mag with oil... PP thoughts only, not a mechanic... Best regards, -a- Quote
