    Oil leaks

    Now I have stopped the T4 leaking oil I thought I'd inspect the S2 and of course it's leaking

    Nice easy one for starters:

    Oil feed or return (I don't know which is which) to turbo


    O ring I assume?

    The main event is a leak from the timing belt end. I thought sump gasket at first or the dreaded oil pump to block gasket (just done that one on the t4) but after a wash down and a run up on the drive I think I have ruled those out. Thankfully the timing belt was bone dry when I removed the cover so at least it's not a critical leak.
    I'm thinking it may be cam shaft seal or cam cover seal (which will be annoying as it's new) running down behind the rear timing cover. I've been for a blast and had another look and it's all still dry, I suppose it is still working it's way down or it's fixed its self





    opinions please
