Post subject:  Oil Leaks
hi guys, it appears that i have found a cause to the smokyness of my car.

I have noticed a oil leak at the back of the engine where between the cracks, i am seeing some oil leaking out and i am also now leaking oil under the rocker cover.

Does anyone know of a quick fix this possible is a seals must be old.

DAMN THIS OIL LEAK.

New rocker cover gasket, $20??

Make sure the rocker cover bolts are tight, I found mine were loose when I checked last time :shock:

Where at the back of the engine? between what cracks???

Under the rocker cover = Easy to fix and probably not a big issue

Under the head = Not too sure about this... it could be big problems!

Are you 100% sure it's not just leaking from the rocker cover and dripping all the way down to the head and bellow? I would 1) Check that the rocker cover bolts are done up tight 2) replace the rocker cover gasket (cheap and easy to do) and see if still leaks

Are you sure it's the rocker cover that is leaking? Do you have a breather on the top of your rocker cover? could the oil be coming from that??

Maybe by "Rocker Cover" you mean "Tappet Cover" or "Tappet Chest" ?

Rocker cover = Top of engine with the oil cap in it

Tappet Chest = Bits on the back of an 850/998/1100 or Cooper "S engine that bolt on with a single bolt each.....

Hope this helps

I was thinking it might be leaking oil from there too. Keep that one in mind Adam.
