Oh poo! Oil everywhere!

[Evilgoat]

Something on the Zook died last night, Cant see where, but the rear drivers side of the engine and the engine bay was dripping with oil. I cant se where is comming from though, only that its high up on the block. Nothing else unusual though, running as bad as it usually does etc.

Any ideas?

Hmm, now given she was missing and playing up just before she went, that sounds like a good place to start.

Fuel pump was pooched. No drin plug but a tiny hole. Have sourced a replacement but cant get it till wed. Decided to have therocker cover off and tackle some other oil leakes while I was at it. Oil filter was loose :S and rocker cover was too. Did the valvlve clearances too. Seems I have a very small amount of grey goo in the breather and oil cap. Possibly some in the water but tiniest amount so looks like new head gasket might be needed too :( So wil do timing belt, get it skimmed and generally cleaned up while I'm at it. Good chance to look at the valves and pistons and sort that damm manifold out.

Thanks for the advice dude.
