Guys,
Got an engine oil leak- fluid low. New FPR yesterday and cleaned it all up. More responsive now. Relatively new rocker cover seal and loom. Replaced front cam seal and checked back- no leaks. Not oil filter. Seems dry from the top. Underneath looks to be leaking from the drivers side at the back of the engine high up. Defo oil. Bin leaking a while getting noticeably worse on driveway. Thought it might be the semi synthetic 5w30 leaking thru somewhere???... Need to get to the source as planning a long trip. Any advice or pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Are you sure it is not the rocker gasket. They can sometimes not fit right and leak.

Cheers

Hi,
Went round it with a tissue no evidence of oil- clean on top

You can put a small amount of fluro dye in the engine oil take it for a spin then get your black light out and see where its leaking from
