Omega General Help / rocker cover oil leak

« on: 29 March 2008, 17:55:54 »

i changed rocker cover gasket and after reading a few things on here i thing i have over tightened rocker bolts way to much now i have a major oil leak about a litre every 5 days.went to a garage and they said head gasket is now leaking under thermostat is this posable to do this much damage just from over tightening rocker.does any one live close to oxford that could have a look i trust you guys a lot more than the garages.will it damage car driving it while losin this much oil.when it rains you can see all the drips of oil around the car park my drive looks a right mess so much for a cheap fix

Omega General Help / oil leak/head gasket

« on: 15 March 2008, 21:23:07 »

i have a realy bad oil leak had a machanic look at it and he said it was leaking from under the thermostat housing.he said head gasket had gone.does this sound right car does not over heat and no oil water mix he said it would be 600 ish to fix.does this sound right or is he talking rubbish.you can see the oil dripping out from the place he said but sounds like a big job for an oil leak.will it damage car if i run it as is but keep topping up oil itl oses about a litre every 2 to 3 days thanks

i had a slight oil leak from rear of rocker cover changed it for one i got of ebay now it is leaking twice as bad.was it a bad move to get one from ebay only cost 6 quid i thought a gasket was a gasket no mater where it came from.i think the leak is at front of rocker when you look under you can watch the oil drip off the sump i have refitted the gasket 3 times and same leak every time if i go to vauxhall and get a new gasket will this stop leak car is a 2.0 w reg should i put instant gasket on aswell if anyone is local and wants to do it for me i will supply tae and biscuits thanks for all you help you guys are spot on
