Hi All, I appear to have an oil leak at around the timing belt end of the engine at the back. car has does 123K miles, had its timing belt done a year ago at 96K miles, so at the time the camshaft and crankshaft oil seals were OK then.
How long do crankshaft and camshaft oil seals last on DW10D engines?
The auxiliary drive belt for the alternator & PAS pump is free of oil, I have not looked inside the cambelt cover yet to see if the timing belt is oily, as that would indicate the camshaft or crankshaft oil seal has failed.
I was hoping you fellow peeps can suggest to me where the oil might be coming from. as I don't want to have to take off the timing belt just to look at the camshaft or crankshaft oil seals.
It appears to be a slow leak, about 1 pint of oil for 3K miles, it has coated one end of the sump cover, and the round spoked metal wheel which if I recall is an engine mounting. (in front of the driver's footwell)
There is no oil at all on the botton engine bay plastic sheild, so its probably being blown out onto the road. Someone has suggested oil pipes to/from turbocharger or the oil sump cover or the rocker cover gasket.
I've checked the power steering level and its at the right level.
Looking forward to your replies
Stephen
