Ok guys. I have a 91 GST with a small oil leak. My question is, is it supposed to leak? I know it may seem like a dumb question but it is leaking out of a small hole in the valve cover that is supposed to be there. It is on the front of the valve cover and looking at the engin it is on the right side. I say the hole is supposed to be there but I am really not sure. I replaced the valve cover about a month ago and the old one had the same hole on it.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Stephen

 

No it isn't supposed to leak but I would need a picture. I can't tell where this hole is supposed to be. I looked at my 90 GST and I don't see a whole.

 

Hey Jason, thanks man. I will try to put a pic up later today.

It is on the right front by the timing cover...hope the pic helps.

Thanks,

Password protected... did the 91 have its breather hole there? on the 95-99 it is on the left of the timing cover... so probably should be covered somehow... Breather filter.

 

Ok, lemme see if I can manage to add the image here...

Does anyone know what that hole is for and why would it leak oil?


ANYBODY????

Thanks,
Stephen

 

breather? is there a hose coming out of the valve cover somewhere else?

 

It would be the breather on the rocker cover run a pipe from the hole to the air-intake should fix things. My ca18det also has this if you want to know what i mean.

 

Thats your prob... it leaks because it is a hole into your vavle cover... oil is gonna come out... either run a small hose back into your intake or put a breather on it. considering you have a gst though... put an oil catch if you route it back into the intake. oil inside your intercooler isnt a good thing.
