Hi guys,
Have a weird oil/diesel leak on my 250 OM651
As you can see the oil is pooling around the injectors, it’s possibly dieselt too.
Currently the only explanation we have is the injector leak off pipe leaking diesel and that ruining the rocker cover gasket.
So I have got a new rocker cover gasket, injector seals/stretch bolts and a replacement leak off pipe. These will be getting changed on Wednesday at my indie. Over £500 inc parts (MB) and labour.
Does it sound like we are on the right track?
It’s definitely losing oil as the level is lower after a few thousand miles, there is most likely some diesel being lost too as it smells a bit like diesel.....
Car still drives 100% spot on, it doesn’t seem like an injector leak as there is no distinctive noise or sign of black death. Looking through the service history it has been happening for over 4 years and the p/o never bothered to have it fixed.
I’m also having the waterpump changed and a coolant change at the same time.... just want to get the common issues sorted and enjoy the car.... I know I know I’m too fussy
Thanks...
