Oil coming out of one Carb - PROVJ 150 1986

[MGA]

HI:
I am wondering if you have any insight to oil coming out of one carb while the engine sits, doing nothing. I found one reference to this problem being a check valve in the oil pump/injection system , I have the shop manual but I can't anything that refers to that. Perhaps with this engine it is the whole pump.

Any thoughts or direction would be appreciated summers coming.

Cheers

Martin

Follow the oil lines from the pump to the carb, about midway there will be an inline check valve.
My 86 115 did that also. I replaced the check valves and solved the problem.
They are fairly inexpensive worth a shot.
Mine made a heck of a mess in the bilge until I found the problem.
Good Luck let us know if that works.
