Think you are right guys,
I've been eyeing up the space to the right of number one and there aint mucho space to do the sideways shift..
But.. back to the original problem, the weirdo thing...after fettling off the old head, swapping over the intake and manifolds and the associated gubbins onto a swanky rebuilt head, fitting that and then finding I still had squirty oil desease....(I only tested it once for about 3 miles..then succumbed to tears) I went to bed, new engine in mind..
The next day...today...!
I gingerly drove to the car shop keeping it about 2k revs, got a new oil filter..and there was no oil leak ...took it to 2-3k on the way home...bugger all...went for a rip around the block...no leaks...naff all gone...vanished.. just came back from a 20 miler and zip...nothing zilch...leak gone.
A fecking mystery...unless my car healed itself..or indeed the head did sort it and it was just some residual crap flinging around just to pish me off..
I'll keep my eye on that little bugger for sure but for now, since betsy (my gti) runs like a peach I'm gonna leave her be.
Thankee kind chaps for your wisdom and learned views...all was a help!
Rick
