Title: oil p****** out from the timing case drain hole
Post by: extreme90 on May 29, 2006, 21:56:43: only noticed when i was in the middle of wales :shock: .... on a beach :shock: that oil was absolutly P****** out from the drain hole in the timing case (200tdi)
so thought, right 2 options..it either gets me 5 mile off the beach and i dump it in the field and hitch a lift back with my grandad or sod it and drive it home :? ended up driving it home :P and it got me home...oil everywhere like but owells
now i thing its gonna be the crank seal
but i since foud out my grandad checked the oil in the week and it was low and needed some in :oops: so i went out and dipped it and it was wayyyyyy over the full mark like inch n half above, now what im woundering is could the extra oil have pushed the seal out of its seat ? as the landy has spent most of the weekend at some sort of stupid angle rock crawling on the beach?
iv never known it to happen but is it possable?

Post by: Edge on May 29, 2006, 22:09:36: I imagine the massive oil pressure increase could have popped the seal, but i aint a mechanic :oops: . Someone will answer your question correctly pretty soon.
I'm coming down to Stoke this weekend, so if you see Trug cruising about on sat in Kidsgrove/Burslem or hanley give us a wave.

Post by: Dave K on July 09, 2006, 22:24:50: How did you get on with your leak?
I've got a 300tdi leaking (not pi**** oil ) out of the same place. :cry:

The only good thing is there's no rust down there now!

it will be the rear crankshaft oil seal in the front casing which seperates the oil pump from the timing case & belt,advisable to get it fixed sharpish as it can contaminate the belt n make it break

General question for anyone in the Cheshire area,
Does anyone know of a good independent LR garage around the N.Cheshire/Merseyside area.
The LR Workshop has changed hands, & not sure they're up to such a job at the moment!
Any Suggestions? [-o<

Leak fixed to-day!

Even changed the bottom pulley, which could've caused the belt to fail at a later date-Top Blokes! =D>
