J_dowsett Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hello all!Right my glanza track car has a oil leak what I can't work out where it's coming from, I'm 99% sure it's coming from the top end, the left top where the dipstick is.. It only leaks when it's hot and under load so can't get it to leak when the bonnet is up! Has anyone had any trouble with the drill holes where the head is built what has the ball bearings in??

richardc9052 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The dipstick itself can leak around the bottom where it seals at the engine. That or rocker cover at the back. All else failing, the crank seal in the belt side. When that goes the oil gets thrown around the bay by the belts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J_dowsett Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I've put a new o ring on the dipstick and the leak seems to be lower than the rocker cover.. I've rebuilt the bottom end when I first got the car and it had the leak then, i can only think it's coming out of the head somewhere! Going to take the inlet off and have a good look. Thanks for you reply 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
