markjs Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 My 84 1800 OHV engine leaks oil from possibly the front seal and I think from the oil pump. It runs like 70PSI (at 2-3K RPM) even with the engine warm and the oil level low. So number one I am wondering how hard it is to fix the leaks? Also I am wondering is it worth it with the oil pressure so high? Will it just leak again? How do I relieve the over high pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect your engine is ok too. Pyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 yeah thats a bit more than mine runs but it should be fine. I have an EA-81 that runs about 55-60 psi at around 2000rpms and up. Mine leaked from everywhere...valvecovers, oil pan, rearmain seal, and oil pump. I replaced all the gaskets and am now leak free. Just go ahead and replace the gaskets or let it leak and just monitor how much oil you have. Better to have a lot of oil pressure than too little with these engines.
