### Condition

Some customers may comment about an engine oil leak.

### Cause

Engineering has determined the cause of some engine oil leaks may be attributed to bedplate porosity at the rear A/C bolt hole mounting bracket.

### Correction

DO NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE.

If the engine oil leak is diagnosed as coming from the rear A/C bolt hole mounting bracket, use the following repair procedure to correct the condition. The oil leak in this area is coming from a non-pressurized hole.

1. After the engine has cooled, clean the existing oil out of the hole and off the head of the bolt using a low VOC brake cleaner (P/N 12378392 or equivalent).
2. Apply a Teflon® pipe thread sealant (P/N 12346004 -- LOCTITE™ 565 or equivalent) to the bolt and reinstall.
