Default intermittant oil leak back again!!!

poxy oil leak back again!!! aint got the time or more importantly the monety to get it fixed
think its coming from round the sump plug but could be wrong as its propper dirty under there and i cant really see

its doing about a litre evry 2 weeks i think!!! so ive had to resort to taking it easy and using cheaper oil

oh the joys of cosworth ownership


but i tell you what, i wouldnt change it!!! i fooking love that car!!!!

get some liquid degreaser and put it in a spray bottle ( you can get em from b&q etc the garden sparayers ) allow it to settle in and start to work .. get the hose pipe on it needs to be a bit of a jet tho.. if you are going to get near any sensers etc get the car running first... water and cosworth electrics arn't the best of combinations ... dont use a jet wash ...

thats what i did .. cleaned up nice too ... much easier to find the leaks that way

Ditto - really do need to clean it to find out exactly where it's leaking.
