Hi
I'm new to this site and I was hoping that someone may be able to help.
I have recently restored a Mk 2 XR2 and there is oil coming from the dip stick. He was running it on fully synthetic oil but was told to use just everyday oil and now I have this problem.

Different people are telling me different things, some say it's the oil some say the engine needs a new bottom end.

Help!!!!

Cheers
Pete

 

stick it in general discussion mate,will get a better responce

 

Tony, JOG ON!!!!!!!

 

i had the same problem with mine . tired everything, changing the breather, cleaning pipes etc. in the end it kept losing oil so i bought i cheap rebuilt bottom end. havnt had a chance to put it in yet so cant say if it solved the proplem. really annoying though , replaced followers aswell

 

p.s good chance to bang on a race head , pulley and new bits
