Oil leaking problems?
« on: 30 March 2008, 22:22:02 »
Hello im new to an omega v6 and i seem to have an oil leak from somwhere?! there is oil appearing round side of right side exhaust manifould and oil sitting on upward faceing part of oil sump where top of bolts are.
Strange just cant find it! but having car since friday 28th and its now sunday the oil lev has not gone down? but today i toke inlet manifold off and cleaned out the black plastic thing on top with 4 pipes on back and 2 on front it was full of black carbon and i cant see how any air would get throw there it was so bad!
anyway put it all back together and it seems to run somther than it did before but would anyone know if that would relax the pressure in the rocker covers?
I do appoligse for grammer and spelling.

Hi there. It would be helpful for you to update your profile with the detiails of what car you drive.

(Click "User CP" from the tabs above)

This will prevent you from having to tell people what car you have each time you make a post :y
