1935 Ford Oil leak in front
I have a friend with a 35 ford Tudor.. It is leaking oil Front Passengerside when it is running.. Is that a breather in the front corner of the oil pan.. Theres a slot there and it drips oil out when it is running.. I have not worked on the older Flatheads so this is a new one.. I was thinking he may have put too much oil in but thought I would check with you Experts THANKS

Re: 1935 Ford Oil leak in front
The breather on the earlier Fords was on the front passengers side. I am a little hesitant because so many parts get changed over the years.

Re: 1935 Ford Oil leak in front
He just bought the Car last Fall and hasnt had it running too long.. Its all painted so I dont know if it has been overhauled or just a Painted engine.. It runs nice and is quiet.. Just from my opinion of looking at the Pan and the engine I believe it has been apart. Head gaskets look like they have been replaced.. Other then what I can see there is no history of the car.. It was purchased at the VanderPol Auction in South Dakota this Fall.
Wish I had more info.. Randy L Peterson |

Re: 1935 Ford Oil leak in front
There is a plug that caps the lifter galley oil tube at the front just behind the cam timing gear. If that plug is not sealing, you can get a lot of leakage out the pan breather port.

Re: 1935 Ford Oil leak in front
This happened to me, it was the wrong pan gasket. It is easy to put on wrong gasket as they look very much alike, one is for vented pan & the other is for non vented.

Re: 1935 Ford Oil leak in front
Thanks for the Input.. Sounds like we are gonna have to do a little digging.. I am going to put a kit in the Carburator.. I think that would be a good time to pull the intake and see if the breather is there.. Then I guess its pull the oil pan time.. That looks like a while ball of fun . But I guess thats the fun of owning an old car LOL

Confused... I guess pictures of the two gaskets would help. Last edited by CC33; 02-05-2012 at 04:06 AM. |

Re: 1935 Ford Oil leak in front
The vented gasket has a triangle added to the front corner and the other is just the shape of the bolt rail 0r edge of the pan. Hope this is clear enough. When you see the gasket for a vented pan it is very obvious.

Re: 1935 Ford Oil leak in front
If you take the time to look at your own thread on this same subject I posted a pic of a 35 pan next to a 33-34 pan . The gaskets look just like the pans .
