When the car is moving, the spinning driveshaft will spray that oil all over the place, it will make a right mess of the back of the engine and bulk head! You'll have lots of oil dripping from all over the place, but it's worth checking it too, just in case. If this hasn't been replaced or has come loose and dropped out, when the engine is running it will spray oil onto the driverside drive shaft. Have you had your timing belt replayed recently? The reason I ask is that there is a locating pin cover that is on the driver side of the engine, at the back of the block. Fitted it with NO SEALER, torqued the rocker cover bolts to 10nm and I've not had a leak since! So I bit the bullet and bought a genuine Ford gasket for about £30 off the net. The oil seems to be coming from the top of the timing cover, where the timing cover mates to the head. He has been unable to get the timing cover to stop leaking a phenomenal amount of oil. I made the mistake of buying a non-genuine rocker cover gasket the first time and despite stripping it down and rebuilding it with sealer three times I couldn't get it to seal properly. My brother has a 1988 Toyota mini truck with the 22R-E engine, an engine I am not very familiar with. ĭefinitely sounds like the rocker cover gasket! Most of us, including me have had problems with it. Hope this makes sense and that someone can help. It looks as though they spin onto threaded studs underneath the car and the brake lines fit into the grooves with a clip that goes over the top and holds them all in place. There was three in total, all now broken and worn away. Reason being another failure was brake lines not supported from front to rear. I have two questions if anyone would kindly helpġ - what engine oil do i need for 1.7 pumaĢ - does anyone know what brake line clips are called / part no or where i can get them from. Ive since bought and changed gasket but havent tried it yet as my oil level is very low. I steamed it off and wiped as best i could and the ran engine warm, leak seemed to be coming from top left corner looking from front and dripping from there - down the block and running down rear of cambelt casing and onto everything below it before hitting floor, im hoping it was just 'looks worse than it is'. Really cant wait to drive it and get last few jobs finished off, thanks for the heads up on rocker gasket guide and cleaning engine. Low and behold i take it for an mot having done mentioned failures and new garage = new and more failures. Hi again and thanks for the welcome, i shoud have introduced myself really.īought it cheap knowing it was an mot failure a few months back and had the failure sheet to work off.
