hi guys after a little help. So it's a fully rebuilt engine and it's done about 500/600 running in miles no boost. So I've noticed it's been leaking oil so I gave it a good degreas and clean today. Started her up to see if I could spot where it's coming from and the only place I can see oil is around the water pump!! Any help as to where it may be coming from so welcome. Or the engine will be out and all gaskets and seals done again. Thanks

 

is it tracking down from a cam sealor head gasket?

 

Not quite sure mate. From being on the water pump I'm guessing it's coming from the rear cam seal. Head gasket looks to be ok from what I can see

 

Oh, you must have had it running, what was stoppping it from starting?

Agree rear cam seal btw

 

It still runs perfect just the oil leak. Had a quick look doesn't seem to be rear cam seal but did spot something that's bothering me slightly so buying an inspection camera to look better

 

So that's the top of the water pump and it's dry

 

The hell is causing that HG gap?

 

I don't know mate. I cleaned it all up and found a pipe that was loose on top of the turbo biut still leaking. I think I'm going to whip the turbo off and give that an inspection

I also think it leaks when it's under load. Doesn't really leak idling

 

Hi guys I'm suspecting a head gasket as I've seen this let me know what you think. That's at the back just above the turbo

Thats what I meant when I said "The hell is causing that HG gap?" (HG - Head Gasket)
Your mating surfaces should be completely flush, sandwiching the head gasket. This is going to be causing issues

 

Ye I I noticed the other bit yesterday. Il be taking the head off and checking everything. And obvs replace
