How bad is the leak? Mine sometimes leaks a little from the relief hole under the cap on the catch tank and yes the fan or the air coming through as I am driving blow it all over the engine. Have you had to add water yet?

It is probaly your lower pulley. Mine has blow by as well. I have to take mine off and put some more RTV on the bolt. Mine don't drip oil but makes everything greasy

well black that sounds about right everything is oily under the hood and it really irritates me . but other than that no one else has hard of this ????

and i haven't had to add water yet either so im just want the leaking to stop

maybe your front crank seal, those things are tempramental. and that would leak all over your crank cog and get blown around by the fan aswell

Oh... I just read your post again.. I thought you were talking about coolant., but now I see you said oil. I havent had any oil leaks anywhere on mine... And I havent heard of anyone else up here having that prob w/ their S197.

Its seems pretty commen when you change to underdrve pullys on these cars. When I actually clean my motor I just use thei orange degreaser and spray it down. Then let it sit and just wipe it down.
I do need to RTV the pully bolt though. I know it would fix the problem.

ya i havent replaced the pullys or nothing yet so i guess ill look in to that then
