Hi




I have a rather heavy oil weep exactly at this place.
When starting from clean after only 10km the oil trace is very clear.
Strange as there is no oil chanel on this side , not ?
Blown and change headgasket or first to try and retighten the head bolts ?
This engine has never been opened.

Could be tracking down from cam seals as this is a weak point on most cossies.

I would not advise tightening of head bolts as there stretch type.

Hi
Sadly not.
I have cleaned everything and looked at the oil trace and the oil comes out between block and head right on that corner.

 

I've read something on here in the past regarding oil coming from one of the corners

See the ARP's get a mention again they should be bloody banned...

Only use a WRC gasket with block and head faces re machined.

I would go for a small turbo escos gasket and std headbolts.

 

Mine used to do this :-/

 

Mine wasn't torqued correctly (head to block) and I had weeping especially under boost.

 

Sadly

I found out it's more a leak then a weep.

 

Fortunately for me thats one place my nice new yb dont leak from

sorry I couldnt be much help

Its not a proper cossie if it doesnt have a oil leak lol.

 

I think mine is doing this I,ll have to check. Does piss you off seeing leaky YB blood
