AAZ oil leak

Post by kevin930 »

Hi
Have a oil leak from cylinder head ventilation system. https://goo.gl/images/Kt2Bgy" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; hopefully this link will show it. It's coming from the parts numbered 8/9. It is situated just below oil filter. Wondered if any other AAZ owners had suffered same problem.

I had the same leak. Replaced the gasket and elbow and been alright since. Think it had just distorted with age.

Is that a plastic one? On my 1Y it was and it was disintegrating when I got the engine so I just made a metal elbow for it.

Hi
Thanks for replies, good to see it's repairable. Had a few horrible thoughts when I got out of van and saw the mess it had made on the road and back of van!
