AX GT oil leak!
I've got a 1990 AX GT which developed a small oil leak on the drivers side, dripping onto the fan belt, and spraying all over the inside of the bonnet, etc. Was told it was the crankshaft oil seal, got it replaced, and it stopped for a week. Now it's leaking again, but much worse than it was! Any ideas please?

On the tu 1.4 engine you tend to get an oil leak from the corner of the headgasket cambelt side of the engine below the exhaust manifold (have a look in this area and get back to me). My zx 1.4 has this bloody oil leak as well and when I drive along the oil that has leaked get splashed around a bit. The cambelt was very recently changed and I kept an eye on the old belt for any signs of oil contamination and i am doing the same with the new one.
I have also noticed that in the summer when the weather is warmer the oil leaks goes, but as soon the weather goes colder the leak starts.
