5L oil leak.

[Wombles]

As the title states. I have an oil leak. Its not the rocker cover gaskets as I have goo'd them both sides which was my third attempt.
Its bad enough that ot fills the chassis rail up and sprays the exhaust. Its the drivers side thats leaking.

Are you loosing measurable oil off the dip stick?

Have you checked your power steering lately?

+1, power steering/rack could be leaking. (remembering that the P/S pump and hoses are on drivers side and are prone to leaking on 5L's)

The oil is brown..
Hmm what do you think it could be?
The low pressure line?

Just had a look. Definatly engine oil. But what could it be?

If not rocker covers or p/s,could be inlet manifold leaking.

You need to jack it up or run it up on ramps and have a good look to see where it it leaking from. Rear main leaks will end up dripping onto the exhaust pipe and you will smell it burning off every time you start the car and the exhaust warms up.

Re did the inlet manifold gasket. Its that. The cork at the front moved. So when doing it glue it down to the block. Let dry and reinstall manifold.
