Hi,
I have a 2009 motorhome with a 130 multijet.
A couple of months ago I noticed that the engine compartment was covered in a fine coating of oil, which I traced to the oil filler cap. This has caused all the tapes holding the electrical ducting to come away. I've cleaned up as well as I can but have more work to do.
My question is simply, should there be some kind of washer in the cap? The thread it fits onto has a flat bit at the side. I've wrapped ptfe around it for the moment and it seems to have stopped the leak.
Regards,
David
