Title: It's all happening to me at the moment...
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 26 August 2014, 17:28:20
Drove over to my localish dealer this afternoon to order some parts and when I pulled up I had smoke coming out from under the bonnet!  :(  When I had a look there's smoke coming up the side of the nearside of the engine so I've got an oil leak and it's dripping on to the manifold.  >:(

Quite common that when the rocker/cam cover gaskets leak.... I had it until i changed the covers for Vectra items and genuine gaskets, and not had a single problem since :) but you'd probably already know this anyway :)

Yes, but I think the bit of string had a kink in it somewhere!  :P   Besides it's easier to blag cheap oil face to face!  ;)
