massive oil leak

  1. #1
    Hi guys been a garden shed mechanic for years new to the saxo scene though. done a lot of home made modification to my car but apart from a stainless straight throgh decat and a custom induction setup my car is still basically standard.


    I have a BIG recurring problem though... a massive oil leak starting from the rockerbox cover. it has emptied about 1.5litres of oil all over my engine bay in all directions... admittedly i was giving an audi a pasting at about 4-5000 rpm up a big hill. it poured out so much it hit the exhaust manifold and layed out a thick white smoke cloud like that seen coming from a crop dusting plane.

    firstly i have a simple pipe from the original breather to the inlet manifold as with a standard 1 and a pipercross foil type breather on the other end instead of a pipe to the idle sensor ...

    how do i reduce pressre in the rocker and secondly what do i use to clean my engine bay as it absolute carnage atm... thanks in advance anyone cleverer than me can offer haha

    BTW brand new rocker gasket done recently and still oil comin out in most directions

    For cleaning try using Gunk - just 'paint' on and rinse off, works very well!

    Can you upload any pictures to show exactly where the oil is leaking from?

    if theres that much pressure in the rocker cover i'd say you've got a bigger problem then an oil leak
