just spoke to vauxhall in hemel hempstead, will sell me washers for £1.49 each,£81.00 for oil cooler  
£25.00 for rocker cover gasket + vat do you think that is reasonable

I must agree that oil cooler does sound potentially leaking. For what it costs and the fact that these DO pack up, it would be worth replacing it now at the same time as you are doing most of the work already.

Second guess is rocker gasket. If it is leaking on the outer edge nearest the inlet manifold, you won't necessarily get any oil in the plug wells. When were the breathers last checked?

i agree i am goling to replace oil cooler and i have just taken spark plug out there is small amount of oil in hole so i am goig to do rocker gaskets aswell

« on: 30 August 2006, 12:02:27 »

please help i have bad oil leak, oil seems to run down front of engine left hand side of crank shaft pully i dont have oil in sparkplug holes. i have taken plenum off to try to look down front of engine but cannot see because of timming belt cover, would there be any advantage taking off front timming cover to see, there does seem to be oil on top where i think oil cooler is but this leak has been there for about year and may be sprayed about by wind i have no water in oil or vice versa
thanks in advance.
