if you open the bonnet look under the window ant there is a black plastic lookig piece that runs the width of the car the rain water runs into this and at the end there is a hole where it drains ou of you could try pouring some water in the hole and see if it fills up/drains slowly. you should see it pour freely out underneath the car

« on: 09 June 2009, 06:14:33 »

My mig decided to start misfireing today
looking at the engine drivers side bank plug 1 and 2  are filled with oil
i presume its blocked oil pipe causing pressure to blow the cam cover gaskets
how much is a fix on this ?
I'm kind of thinking i'll take sensible offers to take it off my hands
its a 2.5 v6 w reg with just shy of 80,000 on the clock
Regards

I think you will find that your breather pipes need cleaning out this is the common cause of the rocker cover gasket blowing and it is a easy do it your self job. cheap to do new gaskets are cheap and you can easily do your self. to good a car just to sell because of this.
