more exciting....it came in through the supercharger leaking.


I am still trying to figure out the relevance of these comments to the
original question. Deutz engines are 2 stroke diesels. NO SUMP.


Really, if as you say a Deutz has no sump, where does the lubeoil
go while waiting for the oilpump to pick it up and push it thru the
main and rod bearings? 2 or 4 stroke diesels all have sumps....Dah...


Me any fool knows that.....
