hi all , i bought a 2.2 manual cdx ( Z22XE ) back in october , had the usual rocker cover gasket to sort out straight away , just started drinking coolant which i think is the valve at the back of the engine ( which im waiting for delivery ) . i decided to do a left hand only service yesterday ( my right shoulder is buggered so im currently off work ) when finished i had a good look around for oil leaks and found what seems to be a very small leak comming from the bell housing joint and running down and dripping of the passenger side lower stud . i cant see it coming from anywhere further up the block which has me leaning towards rear crankshaft seal ? its only very minute and just looks like a gold piece of cotton running down the housing joint and there are certanly no clutch issues ... im having to use my omega for a everyday jalop atm even tho my plan was to garage it and only bring it out to play in the summer . i have 3 vauxhalls ,, corsa B 1.0 ( which we are still working on the MOT emmisions , supposed to be my everyday car ) and also a astra DT estate which is in the middle of a full strip and rebuild ... the omega is running great only other small issues are when starting from cold i have to give the exhaust time to heat up and seal the tiny hole up at exhaust to manifold joint ( i know this is a sign of something worse but i did the cat just over a month ago and had to re use the old gasket with paste and noticed a small leak ) anyway once the exhaust has expanded and sealed the leak after a restart the engine runs sweet i have now got new gasket and will be fitting during the week . . and a lower ball joint , ive got 2 replacements but have the fun of drilling the studs out on the old ones .. thanks for reading ... richard
