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.

thanks mick gonna get it to api i think just found out im been made redundent next week so when she gets there i dont know

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

Mick

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.
