Hi, this came up on another thread with someone else who had a similar issue so I thought I'd ask since the oil seep seems confusing.
C-263 gas engine in a 2606 Industrial. Mine seems to have a place or two there by the exhaust manifold bolts (rear may be right if I remember correctly) where there is some type of fresh oil seep. I've run it for hours moving hay bales with no problems.
However mine also has alot of blowby(oil smoke coming out of the blowby tube under pressure) but I still use it and it doesn't use oil (maybe 1/4 qt in 3 hours). It's not as bad as a couple old cars I had years ago that got about 30 miles to the qt. It'll fog mosquitos but doesn't lay down a smoke screen yet. Hand under the blowby tube will leave oil on it.
I have to keep the oil filler cap screwed on tight or it will blow oil out. It does not have any blue oil smoke coming out the exhaust though. I've never run a compression check on mine.
Just seems kinda odd to have oil seeps around the exhaust manifold bolts, a lot of blue smoke under pressure coming from the blowby tube, but not out the exhaust like my old cars. The exhaust is barely visible.
I figure I can go a few years without doing a ring job, bearings, and a complete overhaul, but I wonder if it might be something a little more reasonable to fix.
Thanks.
