Hi

I've got an oil leak from cam seal and oil is coming through the drain hole.ive got my mot next week and I don't want to fail due to this leak and was thinking about plugging the drain hole with a bolt just for the mot.
I know the seal needs to be sorted but I haven't got time to do this before the mot.

Question is what size if bolt is it ? It's a 200tdi engine

Thanks

Don't know the thread size (its a tapered thread from memory), if you have the original toolkit then there should be two wading plugs in there if you are lucky which is what they were designed for
