CHECKING FOR LEAKAGE,
NECESSARY ACTION
- Start the engine.
- Check for oil, coolant, fuel, air and exhaust leakages.
- Tighten or change leaking connections. Check the overflow holes (1) in
the block which show whether the O-rings between the cylinder liners
and crankcase are leaking, see figure.
a) If coolant is running out, the O-ring is leaking.
b) If oil is running out, the liner shelf is leaking.
A small amount of leakage from the overflow holes during the engine
running-in period is normal. (Seals and O-rings are lubricated with soap
or oil when fitted).
This leakage normally stops after a time.

Take care to ensure that any
leaks do not cause pollution.
If serious leakage occurs,
contact your nearest Scania
workshop.
