Oil Leak

[Herby7]

Hi All

I have an oil leak i have a few ideas of what it could be but would like some advice. Thanks

[cully]

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

[Puggie]

Always look at the highest point first mate clean it all off and keep an eye on it. More than likely the rocker gasket

[Piggy]

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.

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?

[Puggie]

Torque your rocker bolts down to 5nm bud

^16nm as per the bible

[Puggie]

16nm for a rocker cover wow bit much innit

autodata says 5nm ? i would go with autodata every time

[k3ogh]

just goin of what haynes say never had any problems with there settings dude

[Toms306]

5NM? I don't think I've even seen a torque wrench go that low lol!

[k3ogh]

Must be a xmas cracker one lol

[Puggie]

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 ?

[daddyfixit]

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.
