Small oil leak...
The Classic is running like a top. Drove the piss out of it yesterday.
However, I've developed a small oil leak, and have a missing bolt in the same location.
Got pictures and a few totally ignorant newb questions.
Some oil leaking, not too bad. This is from a couple of weeks of the leak.
Checking the oil daily. That little bit missing is not lowering my oil on my dipstick by any significant amount.
In fact, the oil level on my dipstick is slightly over the "full" hump on the stick. Maybe an 1/8-1/4 inch over the full hump. Which is strange because it was changed at my usual shop in Houston before I left, by my mechanic of over a decade.
Missing bolt right next to the upper radiator hose on the block.
Anyone know the exact size of that bolt that I am missing?
And could that missing bolt be the source of/or contributing to the oil leak in any way?
Here it is again, you can see the oil is all around that corner of the valve cover, and dripping down the tranny to the ground.
Is it probably just a valve cover gasket?
Is my abnormally high level on my oil (per my dipstick) causing any of this mess?
Bolt size to replace the missing unit?
Who do I miss the most in Houston? My long-time mechanic Mike.
