VR6 Oil Leak

Recommended Posts

Mine is losing oil, not too much but dont want it to lose any!

Had it up on ramp today and cant quite see where it is comin from.

Looks like behind the oil cooler or the back of the oil cooler itself??

Maybe a little bit from rocker cover gasket too but not so much.

 

Anyone had similar troubles around the oil cooler??

Looks a big job to start taking stuff off round there

its to be expected for the age of car. If you think of the pressures involved in parts of the motor, and the degridation of rubber over time, seals break etc. You could go about replacing all seals/gaskets, but what a job - motor out. But yeh, you could do teh rocker cover gasket; a 10 minute job, but wont gurantee a perfect fit and solution.

 

Wheres the oil coming from? Well if you can get the car up on stands; clean it off; brake wash does the job. Jack it up again after a run, or spell. Look. But its like finding a needle in a haystack. Sump gasket. gearbox seals; head gasket... list goes on.

 

Modern cars; not come across one that doesnt eat 1ltr every 10,000 mile
