2tc Oil Leak,

[flat out]

ok guys, rebuilt my motor, got it running,

 

once its ran for about a minute, it spits all the oil out, around the area of the oil filter, fuel pump, engine mount, blocking plate and oil pressure sensor, now I'm sure its not the

 

headgasket,

oil pressure sensor,

 

i thaught it could have been the filter as i had a z9 on it, i changed to a z89a (recomended)

 

the reason i thaught it could have been was because the z9 has an anti drain back, i asumed it might have flowed the oppersite way and pressured up,

 

so could it be coming from the,

fuel pump

little blocking plate at the back of the block

 

or the filter?

 

one of the bolts is shonkey in the fuel pump but surly thats no reason for it to dump most of the oil at once?

 

i really need help asap thanks guys

maybe check the seals on the filter and then check the sump gasket

 

do you have a cork or rubber gasket on the sump??

It would be more than likely the filter or the oil send for the turbo/pressure switch as both of these are under pressure.

The fuel pump is not, so unless there's an obviously dodgy gasket i doubt it would be that.

i will double check the blocking plate?gasket could have dirt or sediment between the block and the plate??

Oh and I forgot to say Casey...... Clean the area really well, and then douse it in flour (yes cooking flour) and run the engine again. It'll make a cluggy mess, but will help identify where the leak is coming from dramatically. :bash:

solved the problem, a little paint on the seal bit on the block, cleaned it up and put the filter on tight as, now it does's so f@$king hard
