oil gathering

[Captain Jack]

It could be the rocker cover gasket but mine wasn't faulty, so it was a wasted effort. You should be able to see if that's where the oil is indeed coming from. Not a hard job but a bit time consuming as the timing belt covers have to come off (and they are a pain).

I have narrowed down the issue to the back of the engine oil is running down the block and going onto the turbo\exhaust manifold. Which is then burning but I can't see if it's the rocker or the next gasket down

[Captain Jack]

The next gasket down would be the head gasket... which would be bad news. But it seems unlikely at this point if your engine is actually running fine with no coolant loss etc.

[dave406]

I thought there was another like the one you found by the injectors sticking out

[Captain Jack]

That's the head... (I think)

[dave406]

I thought it was rocker giver then metal which. Has cam in it then the head then the head gasket. I might do the rocker and see if the stops it but there is so much pilot downnthere invisible hard to tell. Will post some pictures in a bit but might do rocker incase. Cj up for helping me?

[Captain Jack]

I have morning and early afternoon free next Saturday. Get the gasket ordered from the stealers.

[dave406]

Euro car parts do it?

[dave406]

That should be good if will get it orders

[Captain Jack]

No idea - I phoned the stealers and ordered from them. It wasn't expensive - it's just a piece of rubber.

(btw, it's Sat 21st I am free, not this coming w/e)

[dave406]

Cool order ed should be hear mid next week

[dave406]

Fan fixed and gasket fixed. See you Saturday Alex! Still only get the smell when going up hill

[dave406]
