I have a situation of motor oil blowing out around oil filter adapter plate.
No visable damage to adaptor or adaptor gasket. I have pulled oil pump and checked and cleaned pressure release.
This old tractor had been flooded in local river and sat for several days.(Of course, no one mentioned that before I bought it) so Im about to conclude that river silt may be blocking ports etc.
Does anyone have an idea about flushing out the block thoroughly or tell me the route the oil takes after it leaves the filter and back into the block.
I was hoping to delay the inevitable major overhaul for a while but it pumps out oil very quickly so I cant let it run long enough for berrymans etc.
I will welcome any helpful insight.
