Re: Oil Leak Worstning Quickly
first do you have and updraft carb on the car, if so the gas will run out on the floor and will NOT get in the crank case while setting. if you have a down draft it can, but it HAS too fill the glass bowl before it can get to the carb. you also might want to run 1/2 qt, low on oil. some model A`s do not like to run on the full mark. my Vicky self levels at about 1/2 qt, low.

Re: Oil Leak Worstning Quickly
Can gas leak into the motor with the fuel shut off from the carburetor bowl? I don't know much about the carb. But that's the only thing I can think of.
It's a Stromberg 81 downdraft Is a carburetor rebuild the next step is there more troubleshooting I should do I had originally started 2 threads one for the leak and one for the carb, it looking like they are 2 symptoms to the same problem https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=247942 Last edited by Steve_KS; 07-19-2018 at 08:17 PM. |

Re: Oil Leak Worstning Quickly
i think it might be running so rich that it could be getting in to the oil case threw the rings.
remember there is a valley pan in the oil pan some of the crap oil may still be in your pan .i dont remember did you say the car runs and idle or run good or is it running rough dumping raw gas down your cyliders |

Re: Oil Leak Worstning Quickly
It idles smooth and runs well as far as I can tell. The spark plugs all look the same, and looking into the cylinders they all look the same too for whatever that's worth. So I think all cylinders are firing, I thought maybe one wasn't and the cylinder was filling with gas causing the startup issue and getting the gas in the oil.

Re: Oil Leak Worstning Quickly
Can you disconnect the gas line at the carry and put a coffee can or such under it and observe it latter. this will show you if the S/O valve is leaking...
