Engine leak... diagnosis help

  1. Got an oil leak, think its coming from just behind the fan housing ? ... Could it possibly be fan hub oil seal? Oil pump? Help ... Tried to get some pics

  4. Thanks Paul
    I'm guessing it's an engine out job or is it accessible by taking fan out?
    Any advice greatly received

    call that a leak? mine leaks there too and from the push rods - it's a fine balancing act between not caring and not being arsed. i prefer the perpetual oil change.

  6. It's been there since we got the van on the road late last year , we haven't been very far in it , just topping up every trip... Has slowly been getting worse..... More drips up the drive ... Last Sunday got home after about a 12 mile trip and noticed a hell of a lot more specks& spots of oil on the back of the van than there usually is ... Got to get it sorted .. Don't want to miss the summer again
     
  7. Cheers Ricky,
    Lol..... It's costing me a fortune in kitchen roll ... Wiping all the oil off the tailgate..... I know it's getting worse because there was some spots on the roof!!!

  10. You just need to take the fan out... bit of tin in front of the fan needs to come out too... Then you'll need a small puller to get the fan hub off as it's on a taper!!
