Oil Leak !!

rambo67 · Sep 23, 2009

Ok , just got back from towing the caravan from Cumbria and have developed an oil leak . If you look under the car it looks like it dripping from behind the water pump ?? It has a cylindrical hole right at the very bottom near the bottom pulley ?? Any ideas fella's ??

I will take a photo of it when the Mrs gets back later . . . a picture tells a 1000 words etc etc etc

Front crankshaft oil seal leaking and dripping out through wading plug hole in the timing belt cover.
Keep an eye on the oil level and get the seal changed next time the timing belt is changed

Wow , nice one will do . I'll get the belt changed asap . According to the history it was done about 4-5K ago . It will need doing sooner than later though as its making a mess of SWMBO car park at work
