Oil leak!

Itr123 · 04-04-2024, 04:21 PM

Hi,
I'm pulling out my hair trying to figure out this oil leak. Currently gone through the list and changed the common rocker over gasket, oil filter housing gasket/cooling gasket. I just had a nosey around and can see some fresh oil on the block...

It looks like it's from around the crankshaft pulley?

Any ideas?

Try throwing some oil dye in there

In the pic theres too much of old oil.Maybe wash that area and then whilst its idling try and see were the leak is.Could also be sump sealer.
