    Big (ie. expensive) job if we were to get our mechanic to sort? Was just about to start pulling the wiring loom.

    It almost seems as if it’s coming out of the non-engine side of the alternator itself, which is obviously not possible. Couple of pictures of potential culprit areas right above the alternator… Everything above that is dry.

    Well, new adjuster in no problems and that weep has stopped, but the oil leak is still there. Evidence as before, on bottom of alternator and bottom of sump. Wondering what worst case is, as we’re supposed to be ripping out the wiring loom and throttle body this weekend to send of for...

    Will do. Is it really possible that such a seemingly small leak (pic here) could result in the amount of oil in the original pics?

    Indeed. Grober I think you got it in one. Thank you! Little trickle out of the adjuster after idling for only a few minutes. Question is can I just order a new seal or better to grab the whole part ?

    Hi all, Gimme best guess and best/worst case on an oil leak that’s just sprung up 🙄 on our ‘96 estate. Couple of weeks ago all fine. Then noticed oily smell, dipstick a bit low, crawled under and found this. Head gasket replaced about 14 months ago. Not blowing any smoke. Just drip drip after...
