Oil leak .....
« on: 31 December 2012, 13:33 »
Hi guys ...

I think its the crank shaft oil seal but could be wrong ..
The leak is just under the rocker cover breather pipe ,there's a half semi circle cut out just under the breather pipe and its comeing from there .....I think its been going on for a while because my turbo is covered with oil .
Now is it easy to replace the seal or is it a big job ....?

Oh and happy new year for later... :smiley:

the crank is at the bottom of your engine and that side will be hidden under your gearbox...

anyways it's your rocker cover gasket mate, very common and easy to replace

I had this issue when I first got mine, new rocker gasket and a touch of hylomar squared it away!
