how cold is it running? it should be about half way on the gauge.
if it is running really cold as in just off the bottom then i'd have thought the oil isn't getting up to temp and not lubricrating properly.
just an idea :-/

have you checked the power steering fluid, brake fluid aswell as the oil?
is it defo engine that's leaking?
and yes it could be the sump gasket leaking.

may not be the gaskets but it's the most common place for leaking oil on the v6's.

yeah there's 2 of em on a v6, they're the plastic tops that the plug leads go into.
can you see any oil dripping from the covers when it's running?

can you smell burning oil when the car's running?
i'd agree with danny, most probably the cam gaskets leaking.

i know what you mean, i do think it's there just to annoy 
the buzzer's probably somewhere that's impossible to get to unless you rip out half the dash

i think it's right at the bottom on the right side at the front of the engine.
the wire should run up by the cambelt cover, i think it's 1 small torx bolt holding it in.
i'm going by where my one on my astra was so i pressume the omega one is in the same place.
can be a pain to get iirc, the one on the astra was right underneath the pas pump.

The Ebay link above (not the buypartsby one) shows a cambelt without a tensioner....
yeah i know, i sent him a question asking exactly what parts are in the kit and he replied saying "the pic shows all the parts in the kit"
i think i'll leave that one alone.

« on: 09 February 2008, 00:25:55 »
found this...
https://sslrelay.com/buypartsby.co.uk/timing-belt-kit-info.php?recordID=6714
is this the right belt kit for my engine? my engine number is 08283533.
it seems a bit cheap compared to the prices i've seen elsewhere, even with the vat it's still only just over £60.
has anyone ever used this company?
any input is appreciated
