Subject: oil leak Author: Bill [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10/ 23/ 06, 5:17pm We are the new owners of a 87, 36 BB with DD v6 92 T only 160K one owner. We have made 2 trips with no problems. Today I the engine started great , but I notice a small stream of black oil comming out of a opening in the bottom of a cumilator type tank under the bus. I turned the engine off and clean up the leak with paper towels. I checked the oil level and it was OK. I also checked the oil level for the power steering and hydrolic fan which did not show on the dip stick and notice some signs of lite oil on the pavement. I live in the Tampa ST Pete area. Thanks for your thoughts! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: oil leak Author: Ernie Ekberg [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10/ 24/ 06, 7:10pm Bill- your coach sounds like it is equipped with a slobber tube accumulator tank. lots of birds have their slobber tubes barely touching the ground. On mine, these are directed to an accumulator tank. My tank has lost the fitting on the bottom of the tank, thus allowing some oil to drip and or be sprayed on the back of the coach and my toad. Your fitting, may be lost or- your tank may be full. You can drain that- messy- and see if thats the problem. Ernie- 83PT40 in Montana [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: oil leak Author: Bill [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10/ 24/ 06, 8:33pm Thanks, There is a hole in the bottom of the tank where the black oil is dripping from and appears to be missing a plug. Someone told me it could be a pluged oil line building pressure which is deverted to the tank. All new oil less tha a couple months old. I'm not sure how to clean the tank. It appears since there is a hole in the bottom, the oil would run out, but only recently notice the oil stream from the tank. I'm not knowledgeable of the DD 92 6 t diesel and why they oil would come out of the engine. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
