Default Yo Techi's TIME TO SHOW OFF
Have a £990 Vehicle: FORD FIESTA 1.4I (94-95) SI 5DR
, my issue is the thick oil coverage under the cam housing on the subframe and surounding area in the engine bay.. thick gunge.. My first thought was; over time its built up... but it looks like a problem that's bee missed by me buying the car in the wet on sunday just past

The car runs well, not hot but just 1/3rd on the level, oil looks warn, soft; not gritty to the touch

Engine bay was not steamed, showed real signs of being original

Seller was TRADE and seemed ok to me.. one wheel baring changed and a new exhaust, tyre replaced on wheel that had a baring change, as you would expect..

oily residue dripping off bottom of sump, but no real evidence of a leak, or broken gassketttt!!!!!

Before I get stuck in is there a known FORD check list of issues for this model, given its age, or is it a STEAM CLEAN and see where the oil is coming from..

Hope you can help...
