81 oil leak

Post by curt-51 »



I have been running my 81 wing every couple of weeks this winter. Noticed a leak under the engine. After cleaning, it seems to be coming from a weep hole, which I thought was for the water pump. Is this possible. I am not 100% sure this is where the leak is, but it is definetly underside of engine. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The weep hole can leak coolant or oil, depending which seal on the water pump has failed. The weep hole can be seen here (in this case, leaking coolant):
