Oil leaks

Bludge · Post by **Bludge** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:41 am

Had my car up on ramps today and had a look around to see if i could work out where the oil leaks are coming from.

Looks like the oil cooler seal could be leaking, but can recommend anywhere else it looks like it might be leaking from?

Nice one! thanks mate.

Done the rocker cover and had the vtec solenoid off a few times but will double check it. didnt think of the dizzy though, thats a good one to check!

Have you checked the inlet cam cap too?

It certainly looks like the cam cap is leaking, i found this guide.

It all looks good (if not a lot more effort then i was hoping for!) but i dont have a torque wrench that does the low torques needed for the cam holder plate and i cant really afford one. could i get away with just guessing it or is it best to wait till i can afford a low torque wrench?

*EDIT* And also where can i find the actual cam seal? anyone got any links?

Replace it with an aftermarket version as they seem to perform better.

Just an example, you might find cheaper/better..........

I have one of these and it has been good for every bolt on the car, from the ones you need to do to the cylinder head bolts.
