curtis Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 My Herald has a 1500 engine and the oil is weeping a little from the filler cap.It hasn't done this before.It is marked oc4. Several questions.Is this correct,a pressurized cap?Is there a breather anywhere that might need cleaning?Have recently changed the oil and overfilled it a bit.Any thoughts?Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtis Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 No, pretty sure it was dry before.Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 On the 1500 there should be a pipe coming from the side of the rockerbox, and assuming it is fitted with twin SU HS4 carbs, the pipe should split and feed into the carb bodies. The rubber pipe should be oil pipe, as water pipe (usually used!) perishes/baloons/falls apart.If fitted with single CD150 carb, the pipe should feed into a rould valve fitted to the inlet manifold.The alternative is to let the pipe breathe to the air (under the engine via a length of pipe is ideal), and block the feed into the carbs/valve whatever.Hope that helps (a bit!)Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtis Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Have drained the excess out and all now seems to be well.That'll teach me to try and squeeze the last bit in out of the can.ThanksCurtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
