General Engine oil leak

[Diwiak]

Hi

i cleaned engine with engine cleaner and then with high pressure water, engine was nice but after some time theres oil running around oil filter area and also oil sump is dirty from oil-not too much, iam not loosing oil noticeably, but its there - any idea where its going out from??????

changed rocker cover sealing bytheway few weeks ago, its still not 100% sealed, but that oil is not from there

thanks

The sump is sealed with black goop that comes in a tube rather than with a gasket. The only way to check with oil leaks is to really clean the engine, then apply some french chalk dust in various places. Talcum powder will do also. This should allow you to see where any leaks come from.

Cheers
