AX 1.5D Oil Leak

Post by fodtommo »

After a terrifying year owning a rover 2oo weve gone back to an AXd to complement the old Pug205dt!

However this one appears to have developed a pretty serious oil leak...

Its dripping from the block/sump join and the alternator bracket in particular, however itis also making its way onto the drive shaft and tracking along said driveshaft until it hits the CV boot and spins off coatong the w/arch in oil. This is one AX that will never have a rotten inner wing.

It is a 96 elation, 130k on the clock nearly full dealer history (Auto- Centre Cirencester!)

My suspicion is the main crank seal?? Is this common and if so is it a hard change?

Has anyone had similar leaks, often these things are a common problem so thought id post prior to getting dirty.

All thoughts gratefully recived as usual!!

Thanks Tom
96 405 GLX dt Estate 205k and counting!
