Oil Leak

During my weekly dipstick checks, I noticed that the oil level was slowly reducing.I checked underneath and found quite a bit of residue.It looks like a small leak which may have been happening for some time.I degreased as much as I could then pressure washed the bottom of the engine to clean it up for a better look.I think the leak is emanating from the crankshaft seal.The belts are due a re-tension so this job can be done at the same time as I believe the belts need removed to replace the front engine seals.

Update

The leak was indeed caused by the front engine seal.There was also some balance shaft seals on the way out so they were replaced as well.

Parts list:

999.113.281.40 - Oil seal : Balance

928.105.139.02 - Spacer sleeve

999.113.351.40 - Oil seal : Crank

999.707.283.40 - O ring

944 Oval Dash Instrument Cluster Lights

The instrument lights on the oval dash 944 are known for being dim.Mine were bad so I followed this guide to remove the cluster and check out the reflectors.
Cluster Removal
The reflectors looked like they had seen better days

                                     

I removed the silver reflective paint with nail varnish remover and replaced it with tin foil as per this guide

Instrument Lights
The bulbs in the cluster had a greasy/dusty film on them so I cleaned them as well.

The result is a much brighter instrument cluster and for an hours work, well worth doing
