IH 1066 engine oil leak

[Dutrup]

Hello, my 1066 is leaking engine oil profusely somewhere behind the injector pump. Can’t see well back there. Does anyone have any thoughts about what I might find? it still starts and runs well. TIA

Only thing to do is get it clean and dry behind there. Use some carb cleaner or something similar and a good blow gun. Get all the grease and oil off and blow good and dry. Get a good flashlight and a mirror. Start it up and watch. Could be the pump mounting plate or the pump mounting bolts. You hope it is not the gasket between the block and the plate behind the gear cover.
