ive got a hole in my engine at the front im not sure what the part is called bt its on a plastics casing to the right of the belts just up from the exhaust, anyone knows if the black plasic casing can be took off and the name of it so i can get a newone, its leakin oil.cheers

 

as in hole in the engine block? or just the plastic cover to the front?

 

plastic casing, looks like the exhaust manifold has burnt a hole in it, fair bit of oil is leaking out.

 

have you got any pics?

 

yeh 2 secs

 

lol, k

 

bottom of this part

 

just a cover, must be dripping from somewhere else onto it, crank seal maybe?

 

bt what does the cover hide, defo coming out of there

 

its the cover for your cambelt

 

y would it be leaking oil then

 

there no oil there to leak from the cover, so must be comming from else where, and its where i'd expect to see oil pool/drip from a front crank seal

 

Front crank seal / Camshaft Seal / Front Cam Cap Seal Packing / Cam Cover Gasket / Oil Pump Backing Plate.
Any of the above will drip oil into the Timing Belt cover and also Contaminate your Cam Belt with oil - Not Good.

heres another pic going to take the casing off now

 

gt rad off, AND UN DONE THE 3 BOLTS, BUT IS THIS A SECTION PEICE AS IT WNT COME OFF OR IT IT A FULL COVER

 

A picture is worth a 1000 words.
The Outer covers are in 3 pieces,you have to remove the crank pulley to remove the centre section.
You will then be able to see where its leaking from.






Hope this helps
