I wanted to post a request for information on Perkins 4-108 oil leaks. There a two boats in our marina that have leaking Perkins 4-108s We pulled our engines and replaces the cork seal around the front main seal the two side oil pan gaskets and the rear cork seal below the shaft as it leaves the engine. We also replaced the seal between the plate at back of the engine before mounting the fly wheel. After a short sea trial no oil under the engine.

We have been discussing the Walker AirSap system to reduce excess crank case pressure. Link below: here I was wondering what experience others have had with oil leaks on the Perkins 4-108 and the Walker Engineering AirSap system. We have also some informaion on a system from Donldson
