How much over the full mark is it?

UkLegacyT 29 August 2002 08:55 PM

well it doesnt look too much really, hardly any. its just ive refitted the engine (just rebuilt it) and the soddin seal is leaking, so cant drive it :(
just wondered if it was a possibility?

I can't see that only a bit over will cause a leak on a couple of inline 4pots i'v worked on you are talking of over fill by 30-40 mm before the rear seal starts to leak plus they were smoking like good ones. Sorry to say you might have damaged the seal.
