M54A1 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have just noticed an oil leak from the headgasket in my ENDT 673, it is a real slow leak it seems to just seep a little bit, is this normal, or is it time to tear in to it Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2933-headgasket-leak/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I can't find a place on my 673 that DON'T leak something. Runs too well to ever take it apart.(I'm checking for GREEN paint, as maybe someone swapped motors in the past LOL!) Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Greg Rider Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'll 3rd that thought.When I was in the Marine Corps I got to fly in a helicopter a few times.The crew chief would always give his little "talk" pre-flight and would say,"If you see fluid leaking,that is fine.Don't stick your hands behind anything because you could loose fingers.If the fluid stops leaking we're in trouble because we're out of fluid!!!!!!!!!!!" So if it is just a small leak,doesn't smoke,stink,or become obnoxious,let it go.It might just be a bolt that needs torque checked.
