Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / October 2008944 LUX 1987 oil pressure relief valve
My oil pressure relief valve seems to be leaking oil. I have ordered a new sealing washer and o rings. Is this a common fault? Is there any problem with the removal and refitting. A new complete valve seem very expensive. Alec Could be the result of quality of lubricant you use or periodicity of oil change. First post here to my knowledge. I very highly recommend the Valvoline products. 87 and 84 944 NA Further investigation shows that the problem is not the relief valve but the gasket between the "oil cooler assembly" and the block. Parts are on order, the gasket seems expensive, there is an article on rennlist which seems clear but any advice will be appreciated.

Recommend you have your mechanic do it. Need to put car up on lift. Not impossible but difficult job. Three hours.

I've never seen an external leak from the valve itself, though of course it is possible- but I have seen pressure senders leak > My oil pressure relief valve seems to be leaking oil. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Alec |
