[TR] Green Motor Oil

[Joe Laurito]

Scott;

I doubt that it is in your oil. A hose leak is a pretty good possibility.
Shine a light around the back of your engine above the bell housing and see
if you notice any green discoloring.

Do you think it is mixing in with the oil or do you mean it is leaking out
of the hoses somewhere and dripping down? I changed out the hoses last fall
and I gues it could have been left over from some dripping then.  None of my
other oil drips show any of this green tint and I plan on changing the oil,
so I'll give it a look. Odd though.

Scott;

My guess would be that it's antifreeze coming from somewhere else up higher,
but showing up there 'cause it's a good low spot for drips. You might want
to look around some more.

I put the '70 TR6 up on jacks to replace the rubber secuions of the fuel
lines with ethenol resistant rubber hoses (it has been 13 years since I
replaced them anyway). As I was going over the udnerside of the 6, I noticed
that there was some oil seeping from the spin on filter, and it was green
tinted.  Any idea what could be causing this?
