Anyone got any ideas? Just got home from work and my car has no oil left and a massive leak somewhere below the front rocker cover?
I think it sounds like a major (costly) problem. Anyone got any ideas what it might be?

Phew! The Oil pressure switch had a leak. I filled her up this morning to get her to the garage and she lost 1.5 ltr in about an hour! The boys at Barr Tech in Cambridge done good again. £55 including parts & labour (& oil top up!) 
Would advise anyone in this area to use them! http://www.barr-tech.com/barrtech/site/index.html Bit cheaper than the new engine I was panicing about needing (Then Wai like thoughts were going through my head about the KL-ZE!) |

Must be a leak somewhere (or you're getting everywhere at 100mph, burns more oil I've found! )
I think Dan (gogo) is having a similar problem?!

Yup I think it is similar problem, I originally thought it was the rocker gaskets, so had them replaced, but it is still loosing oil, albeit not as rapid. So I thing the Piston rings have gone, or some have at least ... |

The "24 rubber things in the engine what y call it" might be the valve seals .... Easier to replace than rings !! |
