Oil leak oil plug left side engine
Bryanj:
If the cover is on it will push back out till it touches the cover, thats what the pin is for.
If it leaks either the bore is damaged or the O ring got damaged
Erwin83:
Yeah, it didn’t make any difference. Bummer.
I’m a bit out of ideas now.
How about making a little spacer so the plug is kept in deeper?
Bryanj:
Should need it unless the plug, O ring or bore is damaged
Trigger:
First off you must find if it is the bung leaking. I have never had one leak before after a engine rebuild, new 0'ring, a smear of red rubber grease and push in.
I would clean the whole area down with clutch and brake cleaner including under the engine, cover the area in talc power and you should see any wetness straight away.
6 euro is crazy for that 0'ring, i get them in trade packs for about 60p each ;)
TrickyMicky:
Just a quick query from a numbnuts, never having taken this part of the motor apart before, but I was under the impression that the alternators actually ran 'wet', and occasionally the seal where the wiring exits would sometimes leak. Am I out of touch?
