On to the next leak - drive flange seal :)

I've been getting oil spun up from the passenger side CV joint so investigated the cause. I ruled out leaks from the cam covers and resealed the cam end cover with some Hondabond and cleaned the CV joint and drive flange from the transmission. A short run revealed oil leaks moving outwards in lines from the drive seal on the differential cover confirming the drive flange seal to be the culprit. The main issue is that it is flicking oil up onto the rear exhaust manifold which is not clever, and it's also getting oil all over my lovely clean engine :)



It's a cheap part (£5), but will require the CV joint and drive flange to be removed. It all looks quite accessible but the CV bolts might be really tight - watch this space.

I was invited to the Ferrari Owners CLub Northwest Concours June 13th. The weather forecast was dodgy but it turned out perfect. Around 50 cars in attendance including: 250 GT Cal, F40, 512 TR, BB512, Dyatona, Dinos, 360, 430, SuperAmerica, 308, 328, 348, 355 - wow that was an expensive field.

Enjoy the pictures.

AutoItalia Stanford Hall 2010

This is a great show if you love Italian cars. Lots of rare cars show up is the weather is good and this time it was. Here's my Dino with an Enzo and F40 on the Ferrari section. The Ferrari Owners Club were welcoming despite me not being a club member and I plan on attending the Northwest Ferrari Concours meeting this Sunday 13th at Cranage Hall - a mere 20 miles down the road from me :) Enjoy the pictures from AutoItalia:
