Hiya guy hope someone can help my my p38 dhse has decide to leak oil badly below inlet manifold looks like its spaying I have changed oil filter housing and cap and gasket and oil pipe o-rings dipstick o-rings and the tube one it's quite major thanks for looking and hope someone can help
Small hole between cylinders three and four next to a head bolt hole. Mid way down R/H side of gasket view in this. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-STC2031 Would give a leak down the block under the manifold. Could be leaking spill pipes or number four injector if it's diesel. Easy to check if it is just take off engine cover and look.
Hiya I have checked that already did see that bulge in gasket thought it was blown out there that's the middle of the glow plug control module I am ready to chuck the towel in and sell her I have had manifold of that many times just don't know where to look next cheers
Glow plug control is in the ECU case don't know quite what you are looking at. Way to find leaks is to washdown around suspected area run engine and watch for them. Engine can be run without manifold on just make sure nothing gash is hanging about that can get sucked into inlets.
The black case that all the heater plug wires go in to with the two 5mm Allan bolts I washed it down the other day and did that ran it without manifold and nothing it only happens when driving had a friend Rev it and still nothing
Right, the loom conduit. Maybe something being blown back. Sometimes leaks are very hard to pin down. You will just have to continue looking.
Right then I have tied a rag round dipstick and been out not a drop what would cause this the cam breather is fine any ideas
