 |

| While my motor is running it seems to be oozing a lot of a oil and watery mixture coming from the intake boot on the passenger side.I thought that air was the only thing that was suppose to be in there.Where would that be coming from and how do I stop it? |

1. Tighten it
2. Might be a leaky intake valve. |

| Now the leaking seems to have stopped after a 20 mile run but I have developed a bigger oil leak that seems to be coming from around the base of the generator mount.I think thats what you call it anyway.Hard to pin point it because it didnt leak until i was driving and under a load so now everything is wet with oil.Is that just a gasket change?Damn...having problems left and right on our first really nice day since last year. |

Actually, there should be a paper gasket above and below the baffle plate, what is referred to above as the metal gasket.

The current baffle plate has no gaskets. It is a crush aluminum.

People see the old picture in the Bentley, and think that is the way it is supposed to be.
The Baffle needs to be oriented right too. Only one way for it to go, right.
