Oil leak

Turns out it's coming from the breather pipe that comes down from the oil filler!, i didn't realise i was above the tinware.
But is oil from there on a new engine acceptable?.

 

You mean this? ^

 

As above, have you got a stock filler, or a blingy one with a narrow breather connection?

 

Everything on engine stock except alternator

 

I had a similar issue to this. I fitted a new gasket under the filler. Also check the filler for pin holes.

 

Yep pipe like mine ?

 

Stock fillers still spit a bit of oil from the breather, mine does, I've seen them piped about 3" to a small air filter in the past but don't know if this is good practice?

 

It’ll make your heating stink

 

They are supposed to be vented to the oil bath air filter as picture .

 

I know but this is me---->

 

Yeh but he’s got oil bath init

 

Mine is (vented to air filter)

 

Stock filler.

 

Right but that pipe that goes off the bottom of filler goes to below tins ,,,, oil can go down there when filling also yeh and drip out

 

So when your topping up oil you need to push funnel right in to filler side so it doesn’t come out that pipe

 

Can you put a pic up of your engine bay or does it look like my picture ?

 

It looks pretty much the same as yours but black and original looking. I use a funnel with a length of tube on the end.

 

Ah good yes mine is just a newer one , is the nuttightened down on yours ok . Does oil come out of that pipe i mentioned ? Or where it connects ?

 

Here take a look at this you tube , this might be your prob as oil can drip from here
