my main worry at the moment is the slight oil leak i still have
on this engine . after a short run i park up there is a little pool under the
drivers side wishbone
i am hoping its not the head again .

Looks great mate!!!!
How mcuh have you driven it? I had an oil leak like that but it sorted itself out, I think its where I had to fit the tappets and some residual oil forced its way out.
Clean it up and drive it about a bit more and keep eye on it.

opened the cam belt cover and had a quick look and it does not seem to
be coming from there but with spanking new clear oil its really hard to see where the hell its coming from
Well, keep an eye on it and oil levels and maybe it will become clearer as time moves on. I would have looked there first as well!
Maybe just residue from the leak before it was fixed?

no its not mate , there is a leak somewhereOriginally Posted by MatBrown
Mine was just residue :(
Hope yours is not another 'back to Craig' jobbie :(
Like the "worry beads" on the gearstick matey :D
not sure , i think it might have stopped but i now have a water leak
from driver side . might be one of the water pump bolts .
still messing with the wide track adventure before i can happily drive the fokker. managed to get longer shafts ,modified front shocks to a wider spec with brand new koni inserts in them . i will see how much thread is going into the track rod after a proper laser tracking and see if i will have to
use longer track rods as well .
all good fun ,just cant wait to drive it :P
