Sorry to trawl this up again but am still struggling to understand how or more importantly where this is leaking from.
Yesterday morning,almost as usual I rinsed the clean oil residue from directly under the alternator wher it always seems to puddle ontop of the sump flange.
Drove my normal 100mile work jaunt and got home just as getting dark.Thought I would see if oil was as expected puddling along sump lip ,and to my surprise very little almost non was evident .Checked it again around hour later when engine had cooled slightly and same very little oil.
Car parked up all night,but when I went out this morning around 10.00 found quite a visible puddle again on the top sump lip directly below alternator .
Now if this leak is being caused by the failing crank shaft seal,as I am pretty certain it is not from camcover seals nor oil level sensor as all have fairly recently been replaced in an attempt to track this leak down, why would oil be leaking with the engine not running.?
Really would like to get to the bottom of this and get it fixed as Im now becoming paranoid about it
