jacksprat Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I just did some work on my T and I have a steady stream of oil coming from the bendix cover when the engine is running. I did not work in that area. I repared the generator and radiator. Any ideas? I haven't pulled the cover or the starter yet but why a leak when we have a splash oil system?

Layden B Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Your leak is just coincidence! The 4 screws on the cover are notorious for coming loose, use lock washers under them. Remember that the Model T flywheel runs in motor oil and throws it in a big circle, it is only a small part of that stream that falls into the oil tube on the back of the block and travels forward to the rest of the engine.
