Think I have a different problem...
Try to make this short if I can.
Have had my M109A3 Continental Multi-Fuel for a couple Months now, had not driven anyplace since I picked it up in Clackamas, across town from here. (17 Miles) Very little Drippage in the driveway, over the last 2 months. And certainly nothing substantial.
Bought a M105 Trailer a couple weeks ago...
Drove the M109 up to Fort Lewis, WA from down here to pick up the trailer.
(About 150 Miles)
Arrived @ Fort Lewis, and stopped @ the regular checkpoint, shut down engine so Guard could hear me, and vice versa. She rerouted me back over to the Commercial Lane, so I spun it around, and zoomed over to the other Lane...
Get that? Spun... Zoomed?
Ok, so I get over there and shut it down for inspection, paperwork, Yadda.
After about 5 or 8 minutes I look underneath and there's a puddle of oil below the bellhousing about 8" x 5", I'm thinkin' Holy Crap... This can't be good.
So the Security Sup. came over and told me that I couldn't enter the Base "Trailing Oil". I'm now thinkin', THERE's GOT to BE A WAY !
So she turns me around and sends me down the street to get it fixed. Ya...
Outside the gate, I left it running, looked underneath, NO Drippage. Hmmm.
Wiped off the bottom of the Bell Housing. Shut it down... Oil runs out @ first, for about 10 / 15 seconds, then slows down to drip, then stops. Wipe bottom again, and restart. Pulled forward, backed up, then forward again. No Drippage. Shut it down, same thing, 10 /15 seconds of run, then drip, then nothing. Walked over and talked to Security Lady, and told her that I was not "Trailing Oil", that if it was running, it wouldn't leak on her Base. And that If I was "Trailing Oil" it would've shown up between the first gate, turning around and going to the second. NO Trail... AND I promised her that if she let me go just 1 MILE to get my Trailer, that I drove 3 Hours to get,that I'd REALLY APPRECIATE IT. So she finally let me bring it back to the inspection station, and
not shut it during the reinspection. I'm trying to make this END.
She allowed me in, and I went in, picked up trailer, and went home.
Stopped for Gas on the way home, same thing, runs out a bit then stops...
Got home, same thing. Also getting seepage from Radiator, just about the same size puddle.
So I'm thinkin Rear Main, but why only immediately when turned OFF??
Anybody? I have no idea what weight oil is in here, as it was squeaky clean when I picked it up.
This is surely enough for now. Any questions... Hit me back.
