I seem to have a substantial oil leak coming off the rear face of my 2.1L
engine (88 GL). The problem is that I can't quite see where it's coming from
because it's hidden by the crossbeam and maybe behind the pulley wheel. In
looking at the drawings of the engine in the Bentley, my best guess would be
a leaking gasket on the cover plate to the oil pump. The Haynes has a nice
write-up on how to remove it but talks about the engine sitting on a bench.
My question is, is it possible to do this while the engine is in place? I
REALLY, REALLY don't want to have to pull the engine (and everything else
getting to the engine) just to replace a couple of gaskets. Has anyone one
done this with the engine in place? And could my leak be something I'm
overlooking? Thanks in advance.
