71 superbug oil leaks
I have posted a thread like this b4 but i just want a lil more info, now people have said it can be the pushrod tubes or something or the rocker
covers, now the oil is leaking out of both sides, but i dont think the leaks are far enough out to be the rocker covers if you know what i mean, they
are only 10cm or so away from the oil drain plug on each side, or when rocker covers leak do they run down the motor a bit b4 the oil drips off the
motor?
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

The air blows the oil everywhere.....
when driving.....
Best to degrease then start the engine....
run for a minute or so until You can see where its coming from....
Cylinders could be loose....
I don't know why they come loose...
Unless the oil cooler seals are leaking....
or the oil cooler has a leak....
I would have thought that a leak there would have put the oil light ON....
Maybe You still have oil pressure... just a small leak...
Cooling air on top of the engine would be blowing the oil about... in the fan shroud...
