Re: Rocker cover gasket

Just had the rocket cover gasket changed again with sealant but this morning it’s still leaking! Is the key to leave it for 24hrs? The gasket was fitted at the garage, road tested and it was fine. This morning after standing there are three small oil patches on the floor. Is this something that will...

Rocker cover gasket

Hi I have an ongoing problem with an oil leak. The aftermarket rocker cover gaskets seem to be a problem. I have had several fitted with sealant but I’m still getting an oil leak. It’s minor but annoying. I’ve been told by the garage that the aftermarket gaskets are probably not as good a quality as...

Re: Oil leaks

No smell of burning and the car is running well. The only thing is that the oil level is rather high after I topped it up.

Re: Oil leaks

Hi
The oil patches are as you look at the car looking towards the windscreen they are to the left of the engine. There is also a slight leak directly underneath the engine so it seems. Possible from the oil sump.

New suspension arms creaking?

Can new suspension arms creak when new, or would there be another issue? It’s basically ok when driving. It’s worse when putting the car into th...
