Re: 575SCi oil leak? FOUND!!!!
 

Hillbilly's correct as usual, except it's "BLADDER".
Whenever I change the oil in mine (575SCi) it has what appears to be a mixture of oil, fuel, and water in it. I made a suction device to draw the old crap out of the reservoir. Since I'm probably not getting it all, I now change it every other time I change oil @ 25 hrs. I think they all leak water and fuel into the oil reservoir.

I hear ya Stan! All new parts should arrive today and hopefully get installed today. I'll take the old parts and try to figure out hou to rebuild them so this should never be a problem again.
Now if the dam weather would co-operate!!! I have NEVER seen such a cold, or wet, or blowin spring.

Steve, what did you come up with as a suction device? I am trying to invent one that will suck out not only that fliud, but the oil in the blower too. I was thinking along the line of a large syringe. But I need to figure out how to seal some thin flexible hose to it.

You can get a suction devise from any Auto parts store. Its not uncomon in auto mechanics.

Hey Canada,
Never thought of that. I guess it's too obvious :rolleyes: , but I'll check it out. Bill, I made mine out of a old spray bottle tube and pump. The line can be bent to get down into those tight turns, like the oil reservoir on the fuel/water pump, which is a *****, and the oil resevoirs in the W256. It beats the hell out of taking these things off the motor to drain them.
Not technical, but essentially free and it works.

Steve
