hi people, long time no post, so I found my car had a hidden oil leak, (****) so my guess was rocket cover gasket replaced the front one and still leaking so a few days ago replaced the other one an yep u guessed it still leaking. I was just wondering before I Jack it up an have a look anyone know of a common place toward the front of the motor (left hand side if u were looking at the winshield head one) ?

There are a couple of seals down that way I think? Are you sure it's an engine oil leak? Grab a torch, and go diving with your hands and see what you can feel and if there is any sign of there the oil leak begins. I'm not a big shot of knowledge on the v6 I'd probably look towards a lower intake manifold gasket for the leak (if it's definatly engine oil and not powersteer) as that seems to be common on SOME v6's.

if your not sure whether the oil is brown or red, you will be farting in the wind. I'd be confirming that first! Btw, P/S is on the opposite side of OP's leak problem.
You really need to give engine a good degrease. Dive for a while. Let it cool & then determine exactly what type of oil is leaking. Then, locate it......

anyway matty, hope you find the drama leak also @ SLY, how is that BF an 85'? is it an import? Thought the 85's still had the 1.5L SOHC? My BF's were 87' & 88'........just curious?

Well my guess is it's an import. Mind you there's no import plate. It's 85' 1.6 efi sohc. All the features the car has would make it a ss just minus the turbo, but it's listed as a super deluxe!

Its a shame we never got the 1.6 DOHC EFI with the first generation of VICS on it here, it was a great engine in its time(82KW). I had one in an 1987 Mazda Étude. |
