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?

you checked the gaskets they could of jus gone.

Not yet, it's still to hot to go near, and will be for a few hours!

you prob bust an oil pipe .... maybe :S

Could it be the dizzy gasket???

Sorry to hear about the prob rob

Seems like all the UK Type R owners are having some engine problems...

Hope you get it sorted mate.

Man, I'm having a hell of a week! Mate dies, Car dies, Girlfriends b'day and can't get over there, and postman doesn't deliver her present! :lol::lol: Gotta laugh! :lol::lol:

If you need any help rob... i'll go to your girlfriends birthday :twisted:

:lol::lol::lol::lol: Cheers mate.

lmao @ duffman :P

any ideas what it is yet Rob >?

hopefully itsw just a rocker gasket

\:D/

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!)

Good News :P

The Type R Lives Again :mrgreen:

lol ... glad its sorted mate

My recent oil leak was my rocker cover gasket.................

got the car 3-4 mounths ago and checked oil and there was none but engine run perfect!! what the f***
changed the olil and filter 4-5 days the oil comes to low what the f*** can’t find the source!! Engine runs fine and changed the sump totally sealed no leaks. I use 5-40 w. no oil spill to find anywhere!!



Some with the similar problem??

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?!

no leaks checked like crazy today!!

hmmm y see ahh hmm not all the time at 100 heheh!!

no seriously it burned half litre on 80-120 km!! aprox normal speed.

sadly visited my mechanic today he think i must replace all the 24 rubber things in the engine what y call it on eng.???:oops: the engine is spitting oil out its not that expensive but pain in the ass replacing all 24.

am using 5-40 oil mechanic said to try with 10-40w before changing the things hmm

DAN gogo my friend hehe ill post any change please y do the same!!

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 ...

oh thats what’s its called rocker gaskets hehe oh dam it think its the piston rings too damn f*** that takes a lot of work and the engine is never the same when all taken apart. f***!!

how much did y engine burn???

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