OIL LEAKS
Before attempting to correct an oil leak, the actual
source of the leak must be determined. In many
cases, the source of the leak can be deceiving due
to wind flow around the
engine
and transmission.
The
suspected area should be wiped clean of all
oil
before
inspecting for the source of the leak. Red
dye is used in the transmission oil at the assembly
plant and
will
indicate if the oil leak is from the
transmission.
The
use of a black light to identify the oil at
the source of leak is also helpful. Comparing the
oil
from the leak to that on the
engine
or transmis-
sion dipstick (when viewed by black light)
will
de-
termine the source of the leak.
Oil
leaks around the
engine
and transmission are
generally
carried
toward the
rear
of the car by the
air
stream. For example, a transmission oil filler
tube
to case leak
will
sometimes
appear as a leak
at the
rear
of the transmission. In determining the
source of an oil leak, it is
most
helpful to
keep
the
engine
running.
