Oil leak

Post by **Fiodor** » 20 Sep 2021, 05:54

Hello everyone !
As always, new post, new troubles

I'm having quite a big oil leak nowadays, with the top of the gearbox being covered in oil.
Would I be correct in assuming this might be a bad cam Seal ?

You are left hand drive , correct?

Fir the gearbox to be covered in oil it is probably a rear cam seal , and possibly a turbo line, if it has a turbo

LHD for sure !
I did the turbo return line when I replaced the clutch (as well as the RMS), quite impossible to do with the angle gear in place.

It's quite bizarre since I replaced it one or two years ago but I'll check to see if it's leaking again.

Well, no leaks from both rear cam seals.
There's quite a pool of oil on top of the engine right below the turbo, I might have messed up the installation of the oil return line gasket...
