| Post subject: | Follow on with oil consumption... |
Have noticed a few threads on here recently about excessive oil consumption - mine (1.8 '98 R) does the same. The dizzy gap O-ring is definitely leaking, but not excessively as far as I can see - there is no great puddle or anything like that, and the coolant hose is unaffected - although there are the tell-tale signs down the front right corner of the engine (stood at the front of the car looking into the engine bay). When I serviced it a month or so ago I noticed that there is a leak coming from where the engine joins the gearbox - the clutch housing. This is dripping on the drive, so it's not terrible, but enough to notice. What is this likely to be? - Worn oil seal at the engine/clutch divide? Seeing as the clutch is almost due for renewal (90+k and juddery when cold) is it going to be worth replacing this seal at the same time, assuming it is the cause? I noticed it on these pics too: - http://www.club323f.com/club323f/forum/ ... hp4?t=2909 Thanks for any advice Brodie[/img] |
