oil leak
hi all, i have finally built and got my car running however, during the running in process i have developed a oil leak.
the leak is on the drivers side at the front of the engine. its not coming from the rocker cover as that is bone dry. it seems to be coming from the cam cover and dripping onto the headers.
i have check the levels and they are fine. and i have also cleaned and dryed the cam cover and left it running to see is i could see where it was coming from but after 20 mins of running nothing. it was dry as.
with thinking that it was ok i took it for a drive to clock up some more miles, i drove for about 10 mins when i came to my first traffic light where i was met with burning oil drfipping on the headers.
got the car back home and its leaking from the same place. everything one the car is new and all the seals are from subaru uk.
where is this coming from? and is it a easy fix?
