Ok guys i have just...
Replaced the cam cover gaskets
Removed the metal breather pipe, cleaned it, new gasket
Full service
Now at the base of the metal breather pipe,where it bolts on i have a slight drip of oil....
I get the feeling it is dripping onto there from higher up..
Before i go taking things back off again(thinking cam cover gasket may not be seated properly) has anyone else had this?
-
Yep cam cover gasket where the two semi circular bits of gasket fit at the back of the cam cover (typically) did you use any of that black vauxhall sealant?
-
Unless its the gasket at the bottom of the metal pipe ... it has a ridge and has to be fitted the right way up although i cant remember which way up it is :-/
But you say its dripping so yes maybe the cam gasket half moons aint sitting properly or maybe just some left over oil :-/
-
I did mate yeah,but thinking back im sure i only put it on the edges, the same as the front! :(
-
I never used any of the Vx sealant stuff when i did mine 8-)
-
The breather gasket im sure was seated with the dent down(if that makes sense)
Might be the easiest option to try that 1st before pulling off the cam cover again
-
Says here the raised part of gasket must face up .... very bottom of the guide :y
