I have a small oil leak coming from somewhere on the top of the block on
my '66/140. It isn't a big leak, but because of it's location, it does
a pretty good job of dripping onto the fanbelt and then getting picked
up and sprayed all around the engine compartment.
The problem I have is it doesn't leak fast enough for me to be able to
pinpoint the source with certainty, so I thought I would log on and ask
everyone for a few common areas to investigate.
Right now, it looks to me like it's coming from the oil pressure switch
and I've ordered a replacement. When I replace the switch, I'm also
going to change the oil filters and gaskets, so if those are causing the
trouble, I should get those then, too. I'm pretty sure it's not coming
from the dipstick or filler cap, because both of those look pretty clean.
Are there any other areas I should look?
Thanks in advance.
