I am hoping that someone has some ideas about what is causing the massive oil leak on my 2008 Defender 110 with 2.4 Puma engine.
The engine is pouring oil out of every orifice. There is a lot of pressure in the block. When I take the oil cap off while the engine is running, it is like popping a champagne cork. I assume that the pressure in the block is causing the oil to be forced out of the engine.
My first thought was that the rings have gone and blow by from the pistons is causing the pressure. But, the engine starts right away and seems to have good power. I don't think it would start easily if the rings were bad.
Someone suggested that the pressure could be caused by bad injector seals. That blow by from the injectors could cause the pressure build up. So, I ordered up a set of injector seals and injector clamp bolts and replaced them yesterday. No luck, the oil cap still pops like a cork!
My next thought is to do a compression test to see if it could be rings. This obviously can't hurt. But I am trying to think of what other things could cause the pressure to build up. Is there any way the turbo could cause this?
Thank you for your help!
