Title: Oil leak?
Post by: blackviper90210 on 04 May 2011, 14:59:26

Hi all,

been losing a little oil recently and when stationary, I'm getting smoke coming from under the bonnet with the horrible smell of it burning.  :'(
Looking under the bonnet, it looks like it's coming from the front of the block drivers side low down, as far as I can tell.

Any ideas as to what seal may be leaking please?  :y

The oil pressure switch is in this area and they are known to leak but I doubt this would cause the burning smell (too low down). Perhaps there is another oil leak that runs on to the manifold higher up, i.e. cam covers? :-/

Could well be elsewhere, but no very clever with mechanics!

Need to get it looked at by someone who knows they're stuff!!

Any volunteers? lol  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
