But, The're oil cooled(no antifreeze), not a problem with regular sevice. The engine timing(crankshaft, camshaft), is belt driven, which requires belt/ tensioner changes at intervals. If it doesn't get checked/changed, could change that timing, which would cause bent push rods........ Lift the hood/ the cab. When was the hyd filter changed last.Is there any oil laying on either side of the chain case? This is the nickle and dime part of buying a used machine. Anybody can repaint/ wash the engine compartment and make it look good.</p></blockquote><p></p>
