John431 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Hi, everybody Here's my recent dilemma...my engine leaks oil like the "valdez" Oil pan and oil filter gasket..(next on the ta-do list) but yet oil level never drops...no signs of water and not a overwhelming odor of gas in oil My guess is a leaking fuel pump that is keeping crankcase full and also some "sputtering/misfire" at higher rpms which I think probably point to bad fuel pump as well. Thoughts/suggestions. Thanks ! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug&Deb Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Since a new pump isn’t overly expensive now would be a good time to upgrade to one that’s ethanol resistant. May not fix the problem but cheap insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1949 Wraith Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Also check to make sure you are not loosing coolant into the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John431 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I figure the same regarding the fuel pump...dont want to take any chances with that. I've been trying to trace down a "misfire" usually worse at high rpms...but even at idle...its smooth then a little rough...then smooth again...so the only thing left would be carb rebuild if fuel pump doesnt solve issue. As for coolant... level is good doesnt drop...and (thank God) nothing in the oil/pan. : ) Thanks all for your suggestions/advice !!!!!
