Hi folks,
ive got and oil leak on my 2wd cossie but i cant tell where its coming from. I recently changed the oil feed to the turbo and the oil pressure switch but they have been fine, no leaks since being changed. Ive got oil patches on the garage floor , ive jacked the car up and got under it when its running but cant find where its coming from. There is a lot of oil around the bottom end of the engine and its seems to have sprayed on to the starter motor and even on the underside of the distributor leads!!
Are there any other usual suspects which could be leaking? And where abouts is the breather?
Cheers,
Muffster.

 

Check the cam seals at the front and also the cam cover gasket, the standard kidney box affair is located beneath the inlet manifold.

Rocker cover always seems to be the first to let go on mine, oil from the breathers too

yes this kidney box they speak of, is it common for this to be removed?

 

Depends on the type of aftermarket breather fitted really.

IF you have alot of oil underneath your best bet would be to go and get it steamed off so you can have a good look! also if the starters covered you sure the new oil switch you fitted hasn't failed as they are known weak point!

 

I'd do as above and steam clean it off first.
