F**K F**K!!!!!!!

 

Driving to Leicester up the M1 and I start to smell something funny, oil, drfinately oil coming through the heater vents.

 

I get to Melton Mowbray (my mums) and I can still smell the car and there is smoke coming from underneath??????:confused: :confused: :confused:

 

I stop and my mums other half comes out and ask me why the bonnetts up, I tell him I can smell oil and he then tells me to turn the engine off very quickly as there is oil pissing out the back of the engine onto the exhaust??????:confused: :confused: :(

 

I am guessing gearbox oil as it smells different to engine oil and even though Iseem to have lost quite a lot of oil, the engine oil level tells me its still bang on, so it must be gearbox oil.

 

Now, I have read quite a few posts on here where guys have had gearbox problems, is this one? Oil out of the back side of the engine??

 

I am guessing so, and if it pours out then is there anyway I can check ?????

 

AA man is coming in 20mins to have a look, but you know as well as me that he wont have a scooby about it?????

 

Help guys, for the love of god, HELLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

 

PS. How much is a rebuild???? Will it need this?

 

I am running about 370bhp, is this no good for the standard auto box???? Whats this oil cooler gearbox thingy????:confused:

well, look at it this way, you've only just got the car, and you're getting through all those niggles that the previous owner missed, at least when all this is done, and Jeff's finished all his tinkerings with the car you'll have a pucker condition one... I put it down to the fact that it's now probably being looked at by much more experienced mechanics than before, and you're looking for things at the sametime.

 

Not much consolation for the wallet, but still.. you only have to drive it again to remember that it's all worth it :)

Yoru right Lee, sometime its hard to see through all the doom and gloom but I am sure everything will be fine, and, like you say, it'll be a pukka car by the time its done!

 

Me and the missus seen you the other day driving through Buckingham just passing the petrol station before the roundabout. Your car looked sweet.....;)
