Oil Leak - Herby7 - 25-03-2013
Hi All
I have an oil leak i have a few ideas of what it could be but would like some advice. Thanks
RE: Oil Leak - cully - 25-03-2013
almost as bad as my oil leak!
yours looks to be comming down the front of the block
is it power steering fluid,rocker cover,eek head gasket may even be a sump gasket
Re: Oil Leak - Puggie - 25-03-2013
Always look at the highest point first mate clean it all off and keep an eye on it. More than likely the rocker gasket

Pictures can be helpful...
that one isnt.
As said, work from top down, writing off possibles as you go!

Make sure you do it with original peugeot parts as the cheap flea bay patent parts dont seal properly! Trust me ive been through a few of these until i got it right! The ebay ones are really hard rubber and the pug ones are actualmrubber if that makes sense

Lol. I have caught it early as its only a small leak.
RE: Oil Leak - k3ogh - 27-03-2013
myne wasnt ripped or any thing it just wasnt mating with the surface properly, and be sure to torque it up evenly, i have a haynes here if you need the settings?
RE: Oil Leak - Puggie - 27-03-2013
Torque your rocker bolts down to 5nm bud

RE: Oil Leak - k3ogh - 27-03-2013
^16nm as per the bible
RE: Oil Leak - Puggie - 27-03-2013
16nm for a rocker cover wow bit much innit
autodata says 5nm ? i would go with autodata every time
RE: Oil Leak - k3ogh - 27-03-2013
just goin of what haynes say never had any problems with there settings dude
RE: Oil Leak - Toms306 - 28-03-2013
5NM? I don't think I've even seen a torque wrench go that low lol!
RE: Oil Leak - k3ogh - 28-03-2013
Must be a xmas cracker one lol
Re: Oil Leak - Puggie - 28-03-2013
Wow the advice on here spot on if you ain't seen a torque wrench that goes that low i suggest you stop buying shit tools autodata 3.40 is the latest version and that's what it says guess it must be wrong eh ?
And before someone says they know better prove me wrong ?
RE: Oil Leak - daddyfixit - 28-03-2013
torque screwdriver ;
also keep an eye on that leak if it comes back, as the headgasket oil feed hole is common to leaking in the o/s/f corner and leaks out and down the front of the block.
