volcrano Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Did a leakdown the other day on a wore out motor to make sure the bottom was sealed before I split the top end. Motor held 6 psi for 90 minutes (I forgot while bullshitting). Never dropped a tad. No oil anywhere. Unhooked the tester and haven't really been in the garage. Went out today and noticed a puddle of trans oil at the back, where the case vent it so I suspect it's coming out of there. How did it pass a leakdown so long, but I have oil coming out? It seems that pressure had to have been in there for a while, but none of that makes any sense at all.I mean I flipped it on the grab bar and put it in the air on the stand, but I really don't see all that oil filling up the vent hose in that amount of time, few minutes maybe. It looks like maybe 1/4-1/2 cup came out. It's hard to gauge since it is oil. Maybe a 12"×3" puddle. Any suggestions? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Leak down doesnt pressurize the trans area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcrano Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Right. Unless there is a crank seal leak. But it held pressure so obviously that's not it. So why the trans oil 2 days later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Right. Unless there is a crank seal leak. But it held pressure so obviously that's not it. So why the trans oil 2 days later?Because you tilted it up on the grab bar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Sounds normal to me. Crank case and trans area are separate. The trans has a vent right on the back and if you stand it up or over fill it, it will puke immediately. About as fast as you can tip a cup over.
