Re: Oil Leak 99 club car
I just placed oil absorbent pads under the engine. It seems to be leaking (blowing) oil from above the oil drain plug somewhere. Can the oil sending unit itself leak or is it usually the O-rings that seal between the sending unit and the engine case? Thanks, Bert

Re: Oil Leak 99 club car
That O ring on the dip stick can cause a lot of oil loss and it is not always evident where it is coming from. I thought I had a side case gasket problem until I started looking very closely after some cleaning. It can really leak a lot when the oil is full and especially when it is a bit overfull (like you may have a tendency to do if it is leaking a bit). The O ring is cheap and easy to change too. I would check it before spending a lot of time on more difficult checks. I just used a O ring I matched from a universal selection I had on the shelf to fix my '93. Worked perfectly.

Re: Oil Leak 99 club car
I did replace the dip stick tube's O-ring but, I still have a pretty heavy leak. I do still suspect that it may well be leaking from there. It did not seem to fit as snug as I would have suspected. I think I will try to wrap a rag or something around there to try to rule this spot out. Thanks, Bert

Re: Oil Leak 99 club car
The other common spot i the side case gasket, if you clean it all up and then run the car, it will come out right from under the shroud above the dip stick tube, you'll know it.

Re: Oil Leak 99 club car
You are talking about the clutch side case, correct? And the shroud is the one around the cylinder cooling fins? It does seem like the oil is coming from under this shroud. I did replace this gasket a number of years ago to stop a leak back then. I did purchase this gasket already. I hope to find time to attack this leak again, soon. Thanks, Bert

Re: Oil Leak 99 club car
FYI, with my O ring leak, oil was getting blown up quite a ways on the side. It was even washing a clean spot well above the dip stick. I thought for sure it was a case cover gasket. I replaced the O ring as a long shot just because it was a 5 minute fix and I had one on the shelf. To my surprise, it cured the leak. I'm not saying it's your leak, but, you could almost try it quicker then it took you to turn on the computer, go to buggies, read this post and turn the computer back off again.

Re: Oil Leak 99 club car
dude what isit with restarting all these 10 month old post? not compliang,just being a smarty pants!
berth dude, if you find it on the case where the enginge half splits, yes there is a gasket for around 15 bucks from a dealer. you will have to pull the engine and the clutch off to replace this. you will need a clutch removal tool to pull it off. i got ine when i had to resael mine last year for around 40 bone at the dealer. oh if you find it is the case gasket, get a new min seal clutch side. its around 5 bucks. saves you from having to replaceit next year! |
