I took the bus out for a few short rides to get the temperature up and see how my new muffler and air filter would work out. I'm happy with the out come of the muffler and air filter. After my ride I'm seen oil leaking around the blower. What does this mean?   | ||

most of the time it means the blower seals are leaking. Cure? Pull blower and replace seals. I would not try it my self I would take it to the Detroit guys. | ||

Bob, check your supply line and the blower drive rubber coupling and clamp, seals leak to the inside of the blower and you get extra smoke and oil usage. they do have plugs under the intake but i have never seen them leak, also check your end plate bolts and make sure that they are tight and have the brass washers on the bolts, good luck (Message edited by luvrbus on October 15, 2007) | ||

Bob, just a thought but I see your muffler appears to be a "non stock" item. Did you have same problem before? could it be back pressure from new muff. ? | ||
