hi a friend of mine done a oil change and now has a leak on a push rod tube and he said there was no leaks before? i said to him how much oil did you put in? its just over the top line so he said its the same as last time ?? to much oil/pressure you blew the seal am i right or not ??
simon

no, pushrods are in sump oil so nothing to do with oil pressure but if the seal was bad anyway then over filing means it leaks past the seal, top level on didstick is just by the lower pushrod oil seals.

perhaps also check what type of oil hes used, before and after

ah ok thanks for that
simon

Been meaning to check the exact level of the dipstick for a while
looks like top mark is above the lower edge of the tappets / push rod tube.

cheers itcty thats a good picture to show him cheers mate
