Hello,
unfortunately, I find in Germany, no solution to my problem.
I've upgraded in my 98's Optimax 150 to the 6 oil supply hoses the check valves.
On a brass fitting on cylinder # 2 (top BB) under the alternator licks the connection.
I've already replaced the hose (Inside diameter 0.092in (2.3mm)) and the cable ties and even uses a special adjustable clamp. But it still leaks oil.
I do not know where this oil is coming from now.
I do not think that the hose connection is tight. The brass fitting could have a crack?
Who knows how the brass nipple is pressed into the engine block?
Can I renew it? Or should I seal off the area outside?
Many thanks
Wolfgang
