Taggy Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) oil pump seal or crank seal,or sump. Edited March 26, 2014 by Taggy Quote
symoep91 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 Still leaking when car isn't switched on if helps? Quote
mikey4410 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 most starlets have a tiny weep from the sump.its notoriously hard to seal and isnt uncommon even if still standard sealant Quote
davehart Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Could well be the sump, mines been like it for 7 years and after 3 re-seal attempts it's still doing it. They are a bugger for it. if its not the sump the seal behind the crank shaft could well be at fault. Whip the timing cover off and have a look for oil trails. Quote
mikey4410 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 as above,bang on . mines had a tiny weep since i got mine.minimal and doesnt affect anything nor drip "to much " Quote

Mad Mike EP82 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Take top cam belt cover off can leak from rocker gasket and run down the engine leaking out at the crank pulley Quote
