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.

Oil leaks

Car is used about once a month at this time of year doing about 15 miles at a time. Seems like the oil is coming from diff...

New suspension arms creaking?

Just had the two front suspension arms replaced. After about 20 miles driving there is a creaking sound from the drivers side especially when pulling away. 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...

Re: Gasket and seal needed for oil leaks

The original one that was sent had a hole missing on the right hand side, down the bottom. I’ve received another two which look more promising. Seem to be made out of a polymer or something. More substantial than the first one I received and had to send back.

Re: Gasket and seal needed for oil leaks

I’ve ordered two from EBay and the car reg matches up with the part being sent. Unfortunately on EBay the photo of the part is a descriptive one, and the part you get can be different and so the wrong part. If any one has the right gasket I would appreciate a message as at the moment I’m struggling ...

So does this part look like the right one? I’ve flipped the image.
