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
