mysterious oil leak

<< < (2/3) > >>

deltarider:
Does the oil on the dipstick smell of petrol?

Bryanj:
Dowty washers only work about 60% of the time, it depends on the quality of the tap casting, i am sure that original dowty washers were ally with rubber insert but they now seem to be steel with rubber insert.
The honda part is damed expensive for what it is but does work

Hi Bryan, I did order some original sealing washers but they seemed to be different to the originals I have had before as a lot thinner. And they leaked

Bryanj:
Wonder if the dealer you got them from just sent crap? I would be tempted to wind some gas fitters ptfe tape arround the screw thread, yes there is a different tape for gas and water

mickwinf:
Got them from silvers
