just to bombard you's with questions as a new member, ive also got a small oil leak that seems to be sat in a dish underneth the inlet manifold any suggestions as to where it is most likly to come from, aslo i am going to refurb the inlet manifold,,,, whilst removed is there any standard modifications to be done before i put it all back, looking to put this car in concours condition as an investment but will mod where silly not to cheers

 

try the pipe that comes off the pcv valve underneath the throttle body.they go hard and crack and leak.

 

Ive got the same sort of leak, whats the pcv??

Sorry to hijack your thread buddy

 

which side and area would help (as looking at the engine),passenger side towards the front there is a threaded bung for the oil gallery that sits just under the water crossover pipe.

drivers side theres one that sits just infront of the turbo towards the back of the engine

 

positive crankcase ventilation returns crankcase gases back into the inlet ,but these gases contain oil mist hence why some fit catch cans

 

Cheers Maydew, will have a proper look tomorrow.

 

my leak appears to be on the left "looking at the engine" whats the best catch cans to get any in particular, im only 10mins from prosport stockport so might nip in there tues to see wot they have
