Oil leaks

Post by Sweep »

Hi guys just wondering if anyone might be able to help out with a couple of oil leaks I seem to have.
I have one comming from the sump somewhere, im going to check the sump seal and replace the drain plug washer to see if that helps.
But I also have one towards the back of the engine, I have replaced the crank & camshaft oil seals and the tappet cover seal.
And its not comming from te head gasket, does anyone know where else I should check for leaks?
Thanks

Clean it real good. Go for drive. Park it, jack it up and have a look underneath.

Do the exhaust manifold bolts have oil galleries behind them like a lot of mitsubishis???
