Re: T&T: 10 top Lehman Oil Leaks

This suggestion may be worthless but I'd like to share my experience. In 2002,
I installed a rebuilt Lehman 120 in my Marine Trader. For 4 years, I had to
continuously clean up oil in the drip pan, coming off the crankshaft behind
the flywheel.

The last time I changed oil, I carefully checked the dipstick after I added
the new oil and filter, and ran the engine to get the lines and filter filled
with oil. To my amazement, the dipstick indicated I was low 2 quarts.

Somehow, my engine had the wrong dipstick (from a 135???). I rescored the
dipstick and solved my oil leak problem. FWIW.  Martin Veiner

The situation is the same with our GB 32.  I think it may relate to the
angle of the engine.  I remarked the dipstick after a fill of  12 qts.  This
according to Bob at American Diesel.
