Major oil leak...but i can't find it!!

Post by ed209 »

My d8 1.9td has developed a considerable oil leak, but tracing it is proving difficult. :oops:
It seems to be coming from above the sump in the area in and around the steering pump, possibly higher up!!
Its a right old mess under there, so pin-pointing it is a nightmare.
Its a steady drip. . . .. ... .. .. .... .. .. . . . . . . ... ..

Any ideas?? :?:
I call her Starbug 1, because she's green with intergalactic milage!! I do love my D8 diesel.
