After finally getting there on sorting the disco for mot, I have just found this leak. Please don't say this is serious of expensive!

Cheers

Is there supposed to be oil in the manifold

gil · Apr 3, 2013

No, I'm assuming that there is a seal gone somewhere

gaskets not sealing ,but does engine breath heavy if you remove filler cap

How do you mean

oil is either running down from rocker cover ,inlet manifold , or if coming from within the exhaust manifold ,it would be smoking somewhat ,

i had a similar leak, my turbo was fecked and filled the exhaust with oil..but it was smokey as feck for a few days before i coped on. proably not what you wanted to hear.

That's what I thought it was going to be, I just didn't want to believe my self. What was wrong with your turbo?

I think its your turbo you can clearly see it comming out of the gasket not dripping on the manifold the turbine inside that spins should have no play there is a big o ring type seal in there if that leaks oil goes into the system .

Right off with the turbo tomorrow it its

my turbo was done, the seals and bearings were all fecked. i was trying to ingore it but the smoke behind me was too much in the end, i bought a replacement core of ebay (latvia) and rebuilt it.

gil · Apr 5, 2013

Just took the exhaust manifold off and found a lot of oil in it. Just ran it up with it off and there was oil pouring out of the exhaust ports

Am I right that its the piston rings?

jamesmartin · Apr 5, 2013

either rings/worn bores , if its just no 1 with oil coming out could be head gasket ,

gil · Apr 5, 2013

It's all of them. I'm going to whip the head off, what signs can I look for once its off?
