I used 4 litres of mobil 1 over the weekend, its basicaslly dripping from underneath, (off ARB),

Checked the dip stick tube and its loose, would there be enough presssure to force it out of there, if not whats the likley culprit, (i know its not sump or flame trap)

Only peaking 27psi boost and i do have a breather kit

 

yes


but 4ltrs fook that must be utterly pissing out mate

 

as said, 4lts is A LOT to loose from purely bening force at, as the dipstick is above oil level, so will only be forced out whilst driving.

Even then it means you would have alot of crankcase pressure to force all that oil out.

 

to lose 4l i should of thought it would smoke like fuck if it was anything else! either a fookin massive oil leak or the pixies have been at it! strange 1

 

possibly coming from headgasket towards the back of the block, near the dipstick tube.

i'd try some new standard head bolts as a cheap way to solve this if it is the case.

 

could be rear crankcase seal as these are common to go ive heard

other than its a lot of amount to lose, and would start looking deeper into it

i take it it was on min when you checked it and the engine wass tone cold

 

4 litres over about 400 miles, few 130mph sprints amd crusing, was running underneath,

Parked in garage tonight, got another 1/2 litre thats dripped off the exhaust

 

it can leak out the bottom of the tube if thats not connected proper, i had that on my old cossie,,, was a bitch to get back in too due to fucking braied hose for the turbo was torn and scraping me hands and arms up

4 litres is a AWFUL lot though,, is there oil leaking from the bell housing too ?

 

small little collection in the webbing next to dip stick, bell housing covered, gearbox, exhaust, starter fully soaked

 

just realised who you are

i recomend selling the car ASAP !!!!

get rid quick, hell i got a scoobie with no oil leaks if you wanna swop,,,,, if not cash waiting too !!!

 

i will also check turbo feed and stack sensor in the oil block, due to loss of oil it may be pressured, and im seeing 63psi a 4k when hot

 

hi buddy

this one you mean

 

yeah, terrible car........ money pit thats leaking oil, gonna cost you a fortune,, get rid now, save your marrige !!!

where heading for another recession you know !!!!

its just a old ford,,,,, i can see the rust from here,,,,, the engine knocks when its not even running

get rid NOW !!!!!

keep the plate though, terrible money wasting car !!!

sell now and have money for that operation for your sick cat,,,,,,,, or even buy a cat thats sick and then have the operation !!!!

 

Just when i have a 200 block, gas flowed head to go in at the end of the year as well, maybe your right

 

looks a right fookin shed that

 

this is comming from a bloke who drives a vauxhall cavalier,,,,,,,,,, you see how bad that car is

SELL IT NOW,,,,, BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND !!!

infact,, just swop it, jap reliability, 4wd,, NO OIL LEAKS, gold wheels, jsut think of the street cred,,,,, at traffic lights women just climb into the scoobie,, i have to lock the doors to stop it happening,,,,, driving a scoobie is WORSE than the lynx affect

so here me now,,,,, sell the car,,,, the price of oil is going up,,,,,, 4 litres in 400 miles PLUS petrol prices too

get rid mate,,,, join the dark side !!!!

 

Jase Pressure switch is where i would check first mate.

 

I only managed 36 MPG on crusing as well this weekend, last year it was 37.5 at a steady 80mph


Thought i was going to do more oil than petrol this weekend

 

dont waste your time opening the bonnet,,,,,,,,, close your eyes and hear the flat 4 rumble of your new motor..... no more fingers crossed come MOT time...... be the envy of ALL of your mates

swop for a REAL car with REAL rally history,,,,,,, no more mini cab jokes either !!!!

scooooooooobbbieeeee dooooooobbiiiieeeeee DOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Thats got to be a photo shop because it didn't look that clean today

Hope you sort the problem

Steve.
