Hello everyone. I posted this in general tech but decided there might be some better info here. I have a pretty bad oil on my 1986 190d 2.5
its leaking oil from the drivers side. I want to sell the car so purchase something bigger, and I would hate to have to sell it with this oil leak not being resolved. I have already replaced crank seal, and the vacuum pump gasket. It doesn't leak as bad as it used to. Before it would spray all over the front of the engine from the fan shroud. Now it just sprays to the left of the engine bay and down on the oil pan. I know its engine oil, because it black. I can't figure out what else it could be. Some one suggested it could be the oil level sensor. Ill check it but it looks as if its more towards the front and higher than that. Also the timing chain cover was mentions as a common culprit. How much is required in fixing that.
Let me know if you have a theory or have had a similar issue
thanks
Tim
