98 cerbera 4.2 ... dropped its oil ....

[david smith]

Hi All
Went out for a blast yesterday got back and oil dripping quite badly ... ( still trace on dipstick so fingers crossed ... no oil warning light or lack of pressure) ....

Got it over my half finished pit and found the culprit is a union under what I assume it the oil pump
sitting visible over the anti roll bar ...

there is a thick black hose with brass end and union
with 1 inch plus brass nut oil is passing thru the join between the union and nut ...

is there a seal in here? tried tightening and untightening but hard to get at so no joy as yet either way ... any ideas before I trailer to Offord??

does any body have a cerbera workshop manual ... if so where from? ... Im quit ehappy working on her and getting service done by the PROs if theres a book of words to help ...

I think you will find there is a copper washer above and below the banjo

Hope this helps?

thanks for info ... spent yesterday afternoon under car and seems to be a crack n the metal section of the hose from pump to oil cooler .. couldnt be a longer hose!! ... am now learning about my cerbera a bit more ...

will fit new hose if I can find somewhere locally to make me one ... hopefully problem solved

the actual hose to bottom of oil pump connection is simply compression - that doesnt seem to have been the problem

thanks for reply .. DAS
