Re: Oil leak question

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

The car didn't leak oil for 12 years of ownership and now it piddles out! Modern seals perhaps not as good as they were 45 years ago.

Re: Oil leak question

If I park up when the engine is hot it leaves an oil puddle about 10cm diameter. Probably only a tablespoon of oil but still...

Re: Oil leak question

Fairly sure it is engine oil. Got a nasty feeling it is going to be a costly engine out job to sort..

Re: Oil leak question

I am assuming it is engine oil. How do you tell the difference?

Oil leak question

My 1976 Carrera 3.0 is dripping oil after use from the little hole at the bottom of the bell housing (915 gearbox).

Do I assume this to be the rear main seal? The engine and gearbox have recently been rebuilt.

Re: Looking for old 76 dated pictures of 1977 Carrera 3,0

The photo above looks pretty much like the engine bay on my 1976 Carrera 3.0.

The original valve covers on mine were black finished magnesium but as they had warped slightly I now have aluminium ones on. I still have my originals but not sure if they can be repaired and it does not overly concern me.

Re: Stainless cup holder

Hi, I would be interested in one for my 76 Carrera 3.0. Ideally black but silver is OK.

I would if I could but don't have the technical know how. And don't despair, the next seats in my 911 are also tartan :)

Door trim tops in black for 911 C3

Looking for a pair of black 'smooth grain' vinyl door trim tops for my 1976 Carrera 3.0. The drivers side one has a hole in it for the single electric door mirror control. My original ones were butchered for roll cage fitment and the ones I am using at present are OK but off a later 911 with heavy g...
