oil leak

[belly]

Hi my o5 connect seems to have started to leak a little oil only a slight drip it seems to be around the sump gasket but tbh ive not had any time to check it out properly is there a common fault maybe around that area ? its beneath where all the pulleys and gubbins are! the van is on 24k now and its a t230 lx tdci 90ps would this be a warrenty job? as i think its warrenty is up on the 1st of march! plus jan and feb are always tight months fo me due too inland revenue so im hoping this is a warrenty thingy! in the meantime im checking the oil religiously

I'd have a good look at it, the filter can leak a little as the seal ages.

The sumps are usually OK as they use a sealant on the joint and not a gasket.

Crank seals and fuel pump gear seals can also leak, but they aren't that common tbh.

I'd go with the crank seal or pump gear, but I have done quite a few engine ladder frame gaskets.

Should be warranty, unless anything has damaged it

just a update hendys have got the van at the mo! rang up today and the bloke on the service desk told me that the gearbox was out and that it was the sump gasket and rear oil seal so theyve got to keep it overnight! which isnt a prob as long as its all done ok how does this sound to you guys? i never trust what the service desk say cos there not the lads doing the work so far though theyve been very helpfull and understanding that i need the van

[coconut]

Yep, sounds about right you have to take the gearbox out to do the rear crank seal, so nothing to worry about

got my van back today all done and was completely free all warrenty which was nice i think i was expecting hassle as the warrenty runs out at the end of the month the dealer was extremely helpfull they rang me twice to let me know how it was all going and ive got the van back all cleaned and steamed off underside too so all good cheers for the help guys
