Guest Leeroy Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hi Guys, Well the Maxwell is going well, starts good now, last drive I did I noticed when I got back a bit more oil dripping than usual, did about 20kms, so presumed just nice a warm. Today I started it up and as I reversed back I could already see a line of dripping oil, stop took a look and it's coming from the drain hole from the Flywheel? Thought I might just have leaked in there since the last drive so took it for a 10 min spin and got home, still dripping. What's your thoughts? The 20mk trip is the longest I've done since owning it!

Spinneyhill Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 What is the detail of the crankshaft rear oil seal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictator27 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 May be a plugged oil drain back to crankcase. Likely just an.oiil slinger; no seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconriley Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Is there a crankcase breather? Is it clear? Could also be a sludged up or worn scroll oil retainer. Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trini Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 First you must find out if the oil is from the engine or the transmission. Some old time transmission carries a cork oil seal on the input shaft which leaks into the bell housing. If it is engine oil, I do not know what type of engine you have, If it is a Continental check the rear main seal. On some of those engines it is possible to tighten up the lower half of the seal cap. But check first the breather is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
