    MEP 018 / 4A084 engine question

    Many thanks for the heads-up. It is leaking! I noticed the oil level rising. I have since replaced it with an electric pump, ran it for a while and the oil level went back down. When I first got it it had an electric pump. I purchased and installed a mechanical pump. It was apparently bad...
