Hi

Does anyone have any pics of the 'offending' oil pipe that can leak on the rear right side of the car? I have noticed the telltale blue smoke from the wheel arch when i am stationary... can anyone give me any guidance about which pipe it's likely to be and if it's usually just a case of tightening the pipe, or if it's a rubber pipe that splits and perishes...???

Many thanks in advance !!!

Hi Bo, How are you ?

Great minds think alike ! I've just been doing an oil change and notice that the oil leak(s) in the oil tank area, that I thought I'd cured are still there (less though) . A lot of my leak problem was due to rusted through jubilee clips
(worm drive clips). So I fitted stainless steel ones.

There are a bunch of potential scofflaw, on the oil filter console directly above where the secondary muffler attaches to the tail pipe you'll find the main culprit:


but there are so many other potential spots for a leak we could be here all afternoon guessing, its easiest to just jack the car and look (obviously the valve covers are another main culprit)

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Guess i'll just have to jack the car up and get searching!!!

Hi Rob! I've been offline for a while due to a house move... Glas you don't really have a leaking head gasket!!!!

Check the 2 small hoses (3" - 75mm) about 1/3 the way up the resevoir tank. The upper hose with the bellows is not a pressurized hose, but if there is a break in it, oil will spew out.
