    Oil Leak (yet another one)

    Whilst crawling around under the car this evening, spotted a bit of a leak. Can someone tell me where this might be coming from?





    The two nuts in the middle left of the first picture actually have oil dripping from them. Not a major amount, but enough for me to need to regularly keep topping the oil up (every 2 weeks or so).

    It could be the front crank seal, not an expensive part but obviously a git to get at..pulley/cambelt removal needed, mine looked very similar (wasnt dripping though) cleaned it all when did the head job, didnt bother changing the seal.
    hasnt returned.

      Could also be the oil temperature gauge sender there - but it doesn't look wet round that part.

      Or the sump gaskets.

      Front crank seal is a common one to leak though.

        your best bet is to wipe the oil away for now, then check it again in a couple of weeks to see where it is then.
