Oil Leak

Post by dillosk8ter »

I have just started noticing that my BX14 is leaking oil from the bottom of the engine. Its making little to no difference to the oil level but still want to get to the bottom of it, any suggestions? As far as I can tell its not the oil filter.

I am not sure about the petrol ones but on the diesels it usually comes from the rocker cover gasket.

Not a lot but still could be either. Check the rocker cover first, if it is that the oil will probably be running down the back of the engine, shine a light up from underneath if you can.
