Hi Guys,

As always I'm asking for some advice. I seem to be having a slight issue with my car.

 

Yesterday I was thrashing around n my car and have a slight issue with a serious smell of oil and when I parked up smoke started to rise from out of the bonnet

 

Now I reckon ive either got a slight leak or a big issue!!!

 

your thoughts guys

 

B

Are u getting any oil on the floor under the engine as I was on the pass side below the air cond pump, I could feel the oil yunning from near the corner or the rocker cover/ timing belt inside plate but couldnt see where it was coming from. Firstly I removed the plenium and resealed the pass side rocker covers......to no avail...oil still running out and even after a short run I got plooms of smoke from the pass side of the engine and out the pass side wheelarch. Plan B was the camshaft seals which I replaced with the timing belt and voila oil leak cured.....At last.

 

Hope this helps........Cheers John Crisp

could be rear engine seal........

 

 

 

I had something similar and after a bit of head bashing a few people thought it may have been oil on the flywheel from my cluch (as I had a massive clutch slip the previous day)
