Hi all, can i have some advice please?
3 week ago i took my motor to formula one autocentre for an oil & filter change, the mechanic said that the bottom plate/pan on the sump was moist but not dripping oil, he mentioned that he nipped up the bolts by about 1/4 turn each. A week later my car is pissing oil out, they used fully synthetic 0W30 low saps oil.
Since then ive had my sump bottom pan re sealed but still leaking oil, ( i assume not from the sump) ive just ordered the PCV valve and the 2 rubber rings for the breather pipe and the turbo inlet which ill fit myself, BUT
I really think that its my oil cooler thats leaking, i just cant seem to find where its actually leaking from and neither Formula One or the indy garage that did the re-seal could see where it was coming from.
Why would my lovely smooth v6 OM642 leak oil after an oil/filter change?
And does anyone on here know of anyone or a reasonably priced indy in south yorkshire that could replace the oil cooler seals (that have done this before).??
Many thanks in advance
