HELP OIL LEAK
« on: 30 January 2012, 19:27:28 »

Hi all OOF People

got major problems loosing lots of oil like I topped it up two weeks ago and multi dash said "check oil level" which is worrying me when I changed the plugs the other week oil was in the plugs and leads also smoke/steam was coming from drivers side under bonnet also it's leaking oil above the gearbox and moving down the sump it's so bad I left a puddle on my mates drive.

Now is this the rocker cover gaskets or is it something more serious I have read

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152564281

I also want to know prices of genuine parts I'm going to have to do this ASAP also is there another guides

If I do the gaskets do I have to remove the top part of the Cambelt or does this not need to be removed

Also estimated time of changing them and special requirements

Thanks

depends how handy you are with a spanner, couple of hours shpould do it following guide on here, only use genuine vx gaskets and vx black sealant, also clean out your breathers it is these blocking up that causes the gaskets to go  :y
also if you leave it to long the oil will fry the ht leads followed by dispack  :(
