 Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2015 2:20 pm Post subject: Oil pump issue |
 |
|
| So after putting my refreshed 1600 in my 65 bug i had oil leaks. So after i got them to stop i still have some oil leaking out of the top of the oil pump. (seems that's where it is coming anyways). I went ahead and took it back off put all fresh gaskets on it and still leaks and its leaking on my exhaust. Is there anything i can do to stop this or maybe a trick? Anything will help. Thanks for your time. |

| Are you sure the oil slinger is on the crankshaft properly? The leak would be right at the top of the oil pump. |

| It isn't part of the oil pump. It is the big tapered washer on the end of the crankshaft. |

| he motor ran when I got it and I never touched that part its not pouring out but still enough for it to get on my exhaust and burn off and smell so I will check that. so I am guessing if it is on wrong I will have to take the motor apart to fix the issue or............... anything will help and thanks for clarifying that vwsteve |

I assumed the motor was apart since you said it was refreshed. Yes, the case would have to come apart to fix it. Do you by any chance have a bad (or cheap aftermarket) crankshaft pulley?
Oil pumps do leak quite often but not usually at the top. That is why I suspect it is coming out around the crankshaft. |

| It is a stock pulley . Should I order up a new pulley and see if that will solve the issue? |

If leaking from pulley, there are a couple of easier things to check first.
Do you have a breather hose from oil filler to carb air cleaner? If so is the hose clear of oil/water mayo like stuff?
Check that both valve cover gaskets have not drooped open at center top.
Pull pulley and clean out the oil return grooves in it.
