skybren Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I have alway owned Loyales. I just obtained a 1994 legacy. I changed the oil and noticed alot of oil on the bottom of the engine. I am not sure but I think the engine is a 2.2. Are there any quirks to these engines about oil leaks. The first thing I will do is replace vavle cover gaskets, any other suggestions. Also what years of Leagacy's are the parts interchangeable, again I have not owned a Legacy before, thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hi skybren. Yes I have a '94 Legacy too! These 2.2L's, with mileage/age, have a number of possible engine oil leak points front cam seals front crank seal - can also be oil pump rotor cover screws backing out and directing some oil out the front crank seal LH cam front support o-ring If you see the bottom of the timing belt covers a bit 'wet' with oil, there is most likely a leak in the above mentioned areas rear main seal valve covers RH cam rear support o-ring I have some pics of these various items if needed.

ericem Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Also verify its not a rack and pinion leak. My car has on the bottom is drenched in oil in various places yet I do not notice much oil loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
