Bender Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just find out today my 5 speed NA has a oil leak. Anybody have been going through this ? Any common points to look at ? I know its leaking from dizzy cap but also right side its cover in oil and gearbox [emoji21] Thats was she left after 45 minutes on car park Wysłane z mojego SM-G950F przy użyciu Tapatalka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The easiest and idiot proof way of finding an oil leak, is to buy a uv dye kit. Pour it in the oil filler hole, run the engine for a few minutes, then use the uv torch and start shining it around the bay No point guessing as it could be coming from anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Or clean everything you can see thoroughly, then check again. Distributer is just a new O ring. My car had a cracked power steering pipe which gave me headaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 I guess the easiest option is to take car to garage but i just dont trust them... Wysłane z mojego SM-G950F przy użyciu Tapatalka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just jetwash the shit out of the engine, then go for a short run and see where the leak's coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 With an NA you haven't got many common sources. Where it's oily, side but also height (not much flows upwards!). If there is oil on the head then it points to cam covers and the dizzy, if it's underside and towards the front then crank seal, if on the passenger side, oil pressure sensor or oil filter housing, if only low down sump pan? That amount of oil leaking I'd say just running it, with it up enough so you can see it dripping should see you rule in possibilities rules out others....

Bender Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 So pretty much thats the points where it looks quite not good Wysłane z mojego SM-G950F przy użyciu Tapatalka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Pretty sure the dizzy leak won't be too major it's just weeped for ages. 2nd Pic behind the aircon compressor and forward of the oil filter is thge oil pressure sensor and these can leak badly/fast. I suspect that is causing the oil on the floor. At the rear/gearbox pic is the oil present all the way up to the top of the engine (ie is it running down to the gearbox) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the rear/gearbox pic is the oil present all the way up to the top of the engine (ie is it running down to the gearbox)So i need to change whole new oil pressure sensor or there is some kind seal for it ? Pretty much whole gearbox is cover with oil well at least that part what you can see from engine bay engine from that side is ok Wysłane z mojego SM-G950F przy użyciu Tapatalka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Pressure sensor is only £15 or so. It could be this and the air flow taking all the oil backwards, if you can get a look at the sensor with the car running it should be obvious if its leaking from there.

Bender Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Quick update it was mainly oil pressure sensor. So got new one now and also new seal for dizzy and new cam gaskets and everything is bone dry now.
