Video of leak: https://imgur.com/a/BA4kKel

My sending unit was leaking really bad prior to this. Changed it and noticing this leak now. It looks like it's coming from either the standoff or the China wall.

I took the standoff off and applied thread sealant and still see the leak. dont want to take off intake if i dont have to.

would like to hear some other input and opinions!

 

Hmm, I don't see anything definitive. Brake clean the area and use uv dye to find it.

 

no no I can see where it's leaking from. Just unsure if the standoff or the rear of the intake is causing it. It's pooling up right in that circle area where the standoff connects into the block.

Since the standoff and intake are so close it's next to impossible to distinguish at least in my eyes.

 

it is pooling up in this little circular crevice https://imgur.com/a/gxPkOYE

 

I guess no one knows

 

Of course not. How could we?

YOU'RE the one that can clean it up and then once it's STERILIZED, observe the SOURCE (as opposed to the DESTINATION) of the FRESHLY LEAKED oil.

No one out here can do that for you.

Let us know what you find after you do the obviously necessary w ... wo ... ,, ... sorry, can't bring myself to post such an obscene 4-letter word as that on the Interwebz. Makes me feel like my mother is going to come around again and make me brush my mouth out with soap for being vulgar and improper.

 

Look for the source? Theres literally no where else it could possibly be coming from if u looked at the video. Intake or standoff. This is quite literally the top of the motor.

I Just figured that somebody would have experienced a leak in the same location and could give some type of insight instead of sarcasm.

 

If it's coming from the outside edge of the boss then I don't think there's a whole lot you can do except maybe replace the manifold. It looks like the original port was damaged and someone tried to fix it.

If it's coming from the fitting threads, remove the fitting and reseal the threads. There's also a possibility that the fitting is cracked.

 

what makes it look like it was originally damaged?
