Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Diagnosing Oil leak

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Noticed this today together with a drop in oil levels. No dripping just noticeably sweating. Any idea what I am dealing with? Facing the rear I am looking at the right hand side of the engine block. Any thoughts would be appreciated. MY99� C2 with 112km.

POST 2Original post

Looks like it could be the gasket on the cam solenoid gasket, lot of oil on it and then do tend to leak. Not a difficult fix. Also, above that area there is a hose.breather that runs to the AOS, these are also know to leak.

POST 3Original post

Looks like the leak is coming from the AOS "blow-off" valve. The 996.1 breather elbow part #6 has a blow-off valve in it that the 996.2 doesn't have. Just buy the part it doesn't cost much also the o-ring for it and the o-ring for the breather hose part #22..So part #6 #7 #22

POST 4Original post

Those two suggestions in this thread are spot on- (1) valve and o-ring for the AOS vent line; and (2) cam solenoid cover. I�d say those are two most likely suspects.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you all, that�s why I like this platform so much. I am not too experienced with this kind of repairs, would you recommend I bring this to my local Indy of trust?
