hi finished rebuilding engine a few weeks back fully forged blah blah blah but noticed slight oil leak from rear of engine ,then it got worse took it to a local expert garage were they said crank seal hadnt been fitted correct so it was leaking, after a new rear crank seal and £££££££ it still got oil leak just as bad ,what could it b now or how much for me to deliver engine to api/sc and get correct diagnosis help pls nearly ready to give up on her cheers

 

Can you get under car and have a look as it could just be running to back off engine from somewhere else?

 

What has this "specialist" got to say about the oil leak still being there?

 

coming out of plate behind flywheel

 

could be cdb i bought ???

 

could deliver to api any ideas on rough price no talk time or i would of just rang api cheers gents

 

what time r api there till

 

The only "plates" behind the flywheel are the gudgeon pin access plate on No.4 cylinder and the breather/seperator plate on the back of No.3 cylinder.
If you have a plastic breather/seperator plate - they do tend to suffer from hairline cracks around the screwhole's and will leak.

No worries - and sorry to hear your being made redundant mate.

If you bring the engine up, out of the car and it is the rear housing cracked and leaking we will fix it free out of goodwill. Sort of like a fairy godmother.

It'll take mere minutes to do .

lf it's worse than that, we'll work something out.
