I'm finding out that there are 2 balance shaft. The one I'm taking about
is
the "upper". It leaking air alright. I can see the end cap (pointing to
the rear of the engine) pop out every time I apply are to the vacuum line
and when I put my hand there I can feel the air escape.
No I don't see any oil or water leaks , should I? I would have guessed to
see oil leaking out too but no oil leak anywhere. That is about the only
thing I don't have problems with on this car.
I did find some minor air leaks but nothing like this one. I'm tempted to
duct tape it tight just to see if it helps before I pull it all apart.
