Hi Guys,
I'm on my second 1Y 1.9D engine in my Type 25 and this one like the last leaks oil from what appears to be the rocker cover at the front of the engine.
I am on my second gasket and each time I use a sealant as I don't think the plastic rubber gaskets do the job on there own.
Now the law of gravity takes play as the engine is sat at an angle and the rocker cover is held on by three nuts on top so it makes sense that the oil will sit at the lowest point and leak through the gasket under pressure, this is why i use a sealant.
However IT STILL LEAKS and it looks like its coming from the front-top behind the cam pulley.
has any one else had this problem and do they know a cure ???
It doesn't leak much and I hardly notice the level drop but the fact is it leaks and it shouldn't.
Any ideas guys
Regards
The G
