| Big oil leak after inlet manifold swap |
|
Hi all,
I tackled the RHS inlet manifold swap at the weekend. What a nightmare but all back together. I’ve bled the fuel through just now and the car starts and runs lovely but I’ve got a significant oil leak. Looking through the wheel arch it appears to be running down the side of the engine. Manifold looks dry. When I turn off the car it stops leaking. Is there an oil feed pipe somewhere I could have dislodged mistakenly? Chuffed I got it done and gutted something else is wrong!
Thanks

Check there is no leak from the base of the oil pressure sensor

Thanks. Think I’ve found it on the back right corner. Have bought a better (smaller/flexible) ratchet and tried tightening it up. Fingers crossed it works! Discovery 4 XXV
