Post by redstar »

I seem to have a leak, coming from somewhere by the inlet manifold on a 1.6td 86... does anyone know if there are any oilways in the manifold or other possible causes please? starting to pull hair out now!

The rocker cover gasket can loose oil running down to the inlet manifold .Cure replace gasket or try gasket sealent.
