Hello,
this is the first (and possibly the most serious) of my newly purchased second hand Marea woes, i do believe it is the rocker cover gasket which is leaking and that the head gasket would be located further down the engine body, but i can't seen to find a join lower down below the exhaust and injectors so i'm slightly confused. Also the head would not be held down with 6 flimsy hex bolts now would it?
last week i tried cleaning up the old evidence of the leak by the bolts and so most of the oil which is still there, is the old and crusty oil from goodness knows hows long ago which i couldn't easily get off, and the freshly leaked oil, is a little hard to see, but i can confirm it's still leaking from round the bolts the most.
the left hand bolt, i have tightened a quarter turn or so, and the right hand a fair bit less, so i shall see if that stops the leak, but i doubt it.
can any of you good people suggest a course of action here?
is there such a thing as a gasket for the rocker cover? is it an easy job (looks to be easy enough)? anything else i should be aware of?
all suggestions, welcome.
thanks in advance.
