FN2 Oil leak

Messages

So according to my MOT tester I have a slight oil leak. He wasn't able to tell me where from though.

I'm going to borrow my mates ramp and have a look. Any common areas to check first?

I have noticed its using more oil but I just put that down to the pcv vale needing changing, Haven't found a single drop of oil under the car after its been parked.

Cheers
 
Usual places are rocker cover, oil filter, can chain inspection cover but equally could be from anywhere and it can get flicked around by a driveshaft so you might have to clean it down, do a few miles and look again.

Cheers loxy looks like its coming from the rocker cover
 
I thought it was the rocker cover seal but my mechanic said its from the oil filter area ., Going to get it up on a ramp and have a proper look
 
Hmmm. Check the obvious, oil filter seal. Could be from the vtec solenoid, above the oil filter. There's a gasket that can leak.
