Omega General Help / Re: Any omega mechanics in London?
« on: 05 October 2009, 13:06:41 »
sorry!!
changed split rad after overheated slightly, along with cam cover gaskets, and cleaning the breather pipes/assembly on top of plenum. problem is now an oil leak that only appears with engine running and runs down the drivers side of the auto box housing (had a look in the bell housing and no oil leak present there).
upon further inspection it seems that the leak is from further up, any help would be great!!
was also running lumpy after re-assembly, but im pretty sure that it needs new leads due to the cam cover gasket problem!! cheers!!

just took her for a quick spin and she is still loosing coolant, maybe rad still though, but that aside.
she was smoking more and her idling was a little erratic to say the least. i tried the heating yesterday to see if it was the dreaded HBV, but there was no water dripping from the back of the engine or that area, again, any help would be great!!

right, here goes....
i have sorted the cam cover gaskets and they are seated fine (have felt round back of half moon, and no oil), quickly checked the breather tubes and they seem fine and changed both central silencers (sounding better now)
the problem i have now is that i have a distinct oil leak dripping off the bottom of the auto-box bell housing (the torx bolts) and i have had as good a look as i can see but cant seem to trace the source of the leak, but it looks quite high up (as far as i can see in the daylight). this is also only while the engine is running. also after changing the exhaust, and with engine running, i noticed that there was a lot of moisture coming out of the back of the tail pipe with a little smoke, and i am also loosing coolant at a good rate (bearing in mind that i still need to change the rad which has a cracked top hose mount) any help from you guys again would be great!!! cheers in advance!!!
