Title: Oil Leak?
Post by: richard ellison on 14 June 2005, 20:08

all sorted on the new grille and m3s front.

inspected the engine bay fully today, found oil around the spark plugs area. Obviously its unlikely oil would spill out from there. Rocker cover seams are oil free....

any ideas guys and is it a major problem?

Cheers

Rich

p.s. new pics up soon! :smiley:

Sounds mysterious. :huh:
Is it only one spark plug???
I would clean the the oil residue with some brake cleaner, and wipe dry. Monitor over next few days.
By the way ONLY do this when the engine is COOL. Brake cleaner is HIGHLY FLAMABLE! :evil:
