got a very bad oil leak somewhere near the starter motor under the inlet manifold. Anyone know whats under there as I cant see into that part of the engine. Its well above the oil filter to the right. Will strip it down soon but would like to know what it could be? Engine runs fine apart from the leak.

The adapter you can buy off Miles to fit pressure sender for oil gauge when converting 205/309 to Gti6 lump screws in the hole I'm on about You can see the blanking plug in the top of the adapter in pic,that was screwed into block. Oil pressure switch is over the other side of block lower down  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
