Are you sure that is oil? That looks like old fuel from the shrader valve or pressure regulator. Kind of hard to see in the pics.

 

JB WELD!


LOL. Seriouisly though, it doesnt look cracked to me. Check your valve covers, or clean the area really good, and pour just a tad bit of water over the suspected crack, with the engine completely cool so the heat dont evaporate it and make you think it is a hole. If the water goes down inside, then its a crack. If it dont, and just sits there for the next 2 hrs, dont worry about it.

P.S. any vacuum problems? There would be a leak if it was cracked also. Hook up a vacuum gauge and test it.

 

I see coolant. I would be more worried about that leaking lol. Ya JB weld it if its cracked.

 

hello guys !
thanks for reply,
no no no :-)
the intake is recently installed,
there is no leaking from the intake, where the seals are.
the coolant you see, is my fault, i did that..

i ve cleaned the area where the red arrow points..
i m very sure that the oil is leaking from this space...
before i removed the runners and other hoses they were all clean
only AT the intake, where the red arrow is there was oil ON it.
i think its coming from the space, i m sure its oil.

but how can i fix this now, or should i replace it ?

and one more thing, the car runs excellent,
i m just worried about the oil leaking from that
small horizontal space..

and if i weld it, for how long can i trust this ?
because i want to drive with the car from the Netherlands to
France. going to Euro Disney yeah, you know.. my wife...

 

hey !

hmmmm the valve covers. thats is possible..but its seems new.
i will put all the parts together, run the car and try to record
it with my video cam... so you all can see it... okay,
see ya later
