Oil Leak

[Russleh]

cars been leakin since i put the new bottom end on. thought it was the oil return so boguth a braided on but its not that

thought it might be the oil filter but tightened that. now after more looking around there seems to be quite alot on the timing cover at the same height as the oil filter .

im left thinking it must be the oil pump but i used a new seal and crankseal aswell and went round the edge with a bit of sealer so is it possible for it to be knackered and be coming out where the pullet bit goes onto the pump.

this has put me off my car a bit as im tired of having to constantly fix things.

maybe comming from the rocker cover gasket? might be running down the side of the engine?

have you sealed the sump correctly???

[Russleh]

sump was sealed good n proper n ill take the top timing cover off n see what i can see.

cars are really doing my head in at the moment. went to check my mums plugs in her fiesta as it was runnin like a kagaroo and as i go to undo the second one it just snaps clean off with hardly any effort.

^^ know what you mean mate can be frustrating sometimes.

did the same thing with my old car, i think it happened because i didn't let the engine go cold again, was still warm so one of them snapped!

i would check the rocker cover first, may need new gasket???

ye could have been that because it is slightly warm still.

i might try that aswell was gonna say it had a new one but thats the n/a that got a new one.
