| Post subject: | Oil Leak & overheating :( |
Ok I checked my oil today and it was real low again I check it fairly regularly. Anyway today the temp sensor was riding a little higher than normal and I noticed an oil patch on the floor after I pulled away.
Oil leak is somewhere from the left hand side looking at the engine from the front. Any ideas before I go crawling under her ? I topped up with oil and the engine was roasting, drove her home tonight and again the temp gauge was rising by the time I was nearly home, was at nearly half.. think If I put an egg on the rocker cover it would be cooked in milliseconds lol. Any ideas welcome, cant get underneath her till weekend
Cheers Dan |

If by "left hand side looking at the engine from the front" you mean the gearbox side, it could be the crankshaft oil seal, behind the flywheel. It's always a good idea to get this one replaced whenever you get the clutch done ... Alternatively, it could be coming from the distributor o-ring - there's a guide to replacing this on here somewhere. This would be preferable to the crank seal, 'cause it's a sh1t load easier to replace
