oil leak

dandan1 · Mar 12, 2014

Hi guys, I have had my d2 for couple of weeks now and slowly getting through the jobs. It was dripping oil quite bad when I got it and when I checked it looked like the rocker cover gasket was leaking so I replaced it. The oil is no longer dripping off the bottom of the engine but is still wet. Could the fpr be failing? It doesnt smell like fuel and is really black but not thick.

If you think it's the fpr just get under the car and shine I torch up above the starter motor you can clearly see the fpr and if it looks all shiny and wet good chance it's starting to leak .

Did you also replaced the camshaft seal. Large plastic disc at the front of the engine under the plastic cover, just pops off. The seal wears with age. Pennies to change and rule out.

I did have a look at the fpr from under car and it does look wet but thought that could be where oil was dripping down from rocker gasket and no smell of fuel.
And I havent changed camshaft seal yet but no oil around it
