Hi All, just a quick question - i have noticed a tiny smidgen of oil coming out of the bottom of the oil breather tower (where the tower meets the block by the engine number). It has a new rubber seal, but have noticed that the nuts weren't that tight - should they be done up as tight as possible or is it something that shouldn't be overtight? Alternatively, i suppose it's possible that the seal is naff.

Cheers in advance, Justin.

They shouldn't be that tight ... just nipped up ... the tower is only plastic remember.

Cheers Ian, i thought it maybe the case - i'll have a look at replacing the seal.

Strip it (carefull not to drop anything down the hole) pack the hole with clean cloth. Clean all the sealing surfaces possibly replace the O-ring and apply a thin coat of Hylomar or similar. Remove cloth, rebuild and carefully retighten.

Will do, thanks again Ian - i'll post up a couple of pics just in case anyone else has the same issue.
