It is hard to tell exactly where this oil leak is coming from, but after spending lots of time cleaning everything I see oil is back all over the cambelt end of the motor.
It appears to be coming from between the cambox and the head. The oil goes over the the block to the fulepump and down to the filter, it also goes out towards the cam belt and is blown back over the brake booster.
I am thinking I need to take the cambox off, or just check the bolts for tightness, before I do that I thought I would ask here incase this is an issue others have had. It does not appear to be an issue in my 70s with the same km on the clock.
Down on Power
This only happens sometimes, most of the time it behaves as it should power wise. But sometimes it will only do about 75-80 kph. Accelerator to the floor and the econ guage off the scale.
I think carburettor but why would it only do it sometimes.
First tank of petrol in this car returned 36.27mpg
Second tank of petrol returned 32.57
I do my check brim to brim and zero the trip meter each time.
This might be related to above but the time it is down on power is for only a very short time.
