A friend of mine has a '85 Omni, 2.2L, carb. Her problem is the engine is loosing oil so fast you can see it dropping on the pavement while she is driving. She asked me to look at it.
I removed the shroud from the bottom and the belts. The side of the engine was so soaked with oil I decided it had to be the driveshaft seal. I replaced that and took it for a drive. Didn't fix a thing. Oil just running out of it. You can see the oil coming off the timing belt as it's idleing. I haven't taken the timing belt lower cover off yet. I will do that and start the engine again and hope to see where the oil is coming from. When I replaced the crankshaft seal I wanted to replace the intermediate shaft seal but I couldn't figure how to get the gear off the shaft. No holes in the gear to install a puller.
Any ideas where this oil could be coming from?
Thanks, Bill
