24 volt Alt. oil leek

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Joe: This is the message you may not want to read.

Anyway, we had an ongoing problem with our 1st camper with this very issue. We tightened, replaced gaskets, etc. Turned out there was a bad seal between the cover and the first unit (if you look carefully from below, these units are in 3 pieces). Finally had to replace the alt.

Hopefully this isn't your situation!!!

Check oil level frequently as the oil lubricating this puppy runs off the engine oil supply.

If it keeps leaking, the good news is that you can extend oil change intervals as you wind up putting about 2 quarts/1000 miles in the engine. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

GOOD LUCK and hope that the gasket gets it done.

Jeff, Did you "finally have to replace the unit" for the oil leak or was it some other malfunction? ( just wondering for clarity).

Hell No, Jeff just traded it as he does every few months.
