Leak and Leak

Postby M4CKK » Sun Sep 19, 2021 11:12 am

2.4 09 Bus 80k miles.
Very slight damp area around the top of the first injector.
Also, slight oil leak to rhs low down (looking from front to back)
Any advice.
Many thanks

Damp area around the top of the first injector, is probably a leaking injector seal which is the copper washer at the base of the injector.
It needs the copper seal replacing, possibly re-facing of the seat, (depending how bad the leak is) and re-fitting with a new holding bolt through the clamp.

Possibly, depending on the size of the leak :?
Mine just rattled like a worn small end :x
