Well water seems to be fine again. have noticed the seal on my exspansion nottle cap half missing, would this cause a problem?
Also noticed oil leaking from underneath, checked and coming from bottom of cambelt covers...might sound daft but why is oil coming from there?
Thanks

crank seals tend to go at around 100kmiles. the front one is quite a simple change. the rear one is a pain. If the cap is tired then you will lose water from there when up to temp and reving a bit.
hopefully its the cap... but maybe sniff test to make sure. compression test doesnt always show a leaking gasket unles really gone as stated above. no harm in having a look at pressures though.
