Title: Oil leak??
Post by: keefusg60 on 10 September 2004, 23:49

Hi guys, ;D

Been reading this forum for a while now, and it's easily the best around.
I've had my mk1 gti 1.8 for about 8 months now, after years of waiting, and love it. (much prefer it to my 4-Motion)
All is good, apart from getting through a fair bit of oil.I'm not the most mechanically minded, so a mate of mine looked at it and reckoned I need:
Oil pump seals / gaskets.
 ???Does anyone know where I can pick up some good quality seals and gaskets, and is there anything else that I should get done at the same time?

Cheers,

Keefusgti

Probably valve guide oil seals..........can you see any smoke out of the exhaust?
