Nukemzzz Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 I just discovered a mysterious, hard to track, oil leak that seems to originate around cylinder 2. I’m worried that I’m going to find a similar crack. Less than. 300hrs on the engine and during the overhaul it seems it got a.new case in the logs (tappet spalling triggered ovehaul). Do you have a picture of the case crack and location? Im not too worried about it because I’ve heard that this engine model doesn’t like to keep more than 6 quarts In it, and there is currently almost 7. Keeping an eye on it though. The base of cylinder 2 has oil around the cylinder flange at the case like a gasket or O-ring there is seeping (and coating pretty much everything below the engine in oil) thaNks for the info.
