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

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
