Anyone else had an Oil Leakage Issue like this? - UPDATE

[Little Blue]

Yes, every now and then these aluminum cases will leak because of porosity. Generally speaking about case leaks. I call this the Friday afternoon forget syndrome. "I going to the lake and nothing else matters".

So the final inspection is glossed over.
So there you have the root cause.

The UV dye should help them find exactly where it is coming from. Porous cases are possible, but gasket interface leaks are much more common on modern die cast engines.

When I was talking to the Service Mgr, he showed me a picture they took. It was of the spot of the original fix they did (engine oil galley plug). The casing around it was all discolored and had oil residue on it. They think that's the spot it's seeping through. The Dye should eventually confirm it.
