stevie 4 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 my93 had its mot on Saturday which it passed i may add.however they did find an oil leak which seems to be coming from the left side of the block and dripping down onto the exhaust giving a lovely burning oil smell.i asked the guy what he thought it might be and he said he could not tell unless he took my timing belt cover off to have a look.another guy in the garage said it was more than likely to be my rocker cover gasket.one thing i have noticed it i appears to be getting worse.
frank c Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I had a similar problem buddy. I removed the r/cover to find one of the plastic wedge (thingys) had cracked. Common problem but easy to fix. I got the kit from the main dealers for a few quid.
wimpy Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I had the same problem on MY94 wagon. It was not the rocker gasgits and turned out to be the oil pump seal. Check you are not leeking from the power stearing res as they are crap on the early cars, all drip down onto manifold and smoke an smell. Iain
