Boylo99 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 hey guys noticed a small oil dripping off the sump this weekon closer inspection today its pretty messy on the driver drive shaft and all around this areafront of the engine looks pretty dry so it looks like its coming down the back of the engine! read through a few posts and saw alot of people have had this and so far im thinking it could be rocker cover not sealed properly but ive seen some people saying crank seal ? im gonna try clean it up so i can find where its coming anyone got any ideas? cheers Quote
Turbo Goose Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Either drivers side driveshaft seal on side of gearbox or crankshaft seal on drivers side which is on the oil pump Edited April 17, 2015 by Turbo Goose Quote

Boylo99 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 okay after cleaning it up after lunch and leaving it looks as simple as a leaky sump plug but doesnt seem to tighten so could be crossthreaded? :/ and fixes? Quote
SRchris Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Are you sure its the sump plug? have you any photos to show us? Quote
Boylo99 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 well cleaned it all up theres none running down its just leaking off the plug tryed to tighten it and doesnt nip up so im guessing threads fucked :/ Quote
Turbo Goose Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 U mean it turns without tightening?People often overtighten the aluminium aftermarket 1s Quote
Johnboy GT Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Could just be a fucked copper washer bud. Get a new washer and if you are in doubt of the current plug get a new one and see what happens after that.John Quote
Boylo99 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 can feel it tightening then it doesn't so im guessing thread on the ump or plug is trashed!yeah just ordered a new plug but has started to drip out more now i tried to tighten it so thinking its best not to drive it for now as dont want the plug to fall out :/ Quote
Boylo99 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 ended up being a stripped thread on the plug so a nice cheap fix Quote
