Is this the light oil used as a filtering medium, or engine oil?

Which ball joints do you need.

and an altenator???

Nope, sorry no.

Thanks

Your welcome

the oil is thick and dark. and sludgy

the 2 front ball joints that you can see if you turn the wheels right round on full lock and look behind

thanks again

Well, firstly, it shouldn't be there. Have you fitted a small filter to your breather pipe or does it go into the bottom of the filter?

Would these be the ones on the bottom of the wishbone or the ones on the end of the arms protruding from the steering rack?

thanks again

Again, your welcome

Cheers

Oil in the k&n is usual its the **** that comes from the crankcase breather pipe and if you fit a breather filter on it you can never use the heaters as you get choked with oil fumes

For mechanical parts your best off trying the oldest motorfactors in town as there usually the cheapest and like rallycinq they know their stuff

Depends how you arrange the breather filter.
If you stick a filter on the original pipe which used to connect to the side of the airbox, while leaving the vacuum end attached to the throttle body, it don't stink.
