Liam_D Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Hey guys just a quick one, but i have a bit of oil seeping out of the back of my engine, like under the fuel rail and a bit at both sides. Never really noticed it before but seen it the other day and its worried me slightly. Anyone know what it could be before i look into getting it sorted. Rocker seal? Crank seal? Can get some pics if they'll help the diagnosis. Had a new Rocker cover seal when it had the Race Spec cover fitted, and that appears to be all sealed and tightened down properly. Also it doesnt loose any oil on the dipstick always uses what its used since i've had it. Any ideas as i would like to get it sorted! Liam Quote
davehart Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 It could well be a leaky Rocker seal. Even if its tightened down correctly any slight gap can cause it to weep out a little.I'd clean up the area and take it out to see where its coming from.You can get dye to put in the oil which will show up under UV light to see where the leak is.

Liam_D Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Awesome I reckon it's a leaky rocker cover too might get one ordered just for peace of mind! Quote
starletburkie Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 oil leaks are very annoying! did you recheck the nuts to keep the rocker cover on? do notice mine come loose the odd time Quote
Liam_D Posted November 24, 2012 Author Posted November 24, 2012 Cool, ill give that a little look today! Quote
