ZX TD oil leak
Had a s/h engine fitted a month ago. I have just changed the oil and all the filters and noticed some oil on the engine block. It seems to be coming from the injector on no. 2 cylinder, where it is screwed into the cylinder head. It is engine oil, not diesel. There are no apparent problems with starting, idling or performance.
Start by looking at the rocker cover joint and (more likely) the various vent pipes on the front of the engine and round the oil filler. These seem to alter with age and work loose. Simply fitting new clips may help - worked wonders on my BX!
Remember these transverse engines receive a considerable blast of air when the car is driven and any oil tends to get pushed around.
