Another oil leak

Post by tiago719 » Tue Oct 11, 2016 6:44 am

Hi guys after I repaired the dreaded oil leak ,I have another oil leak :(
This time is drives side
I took off the plastic covers underneath and it leaks in the oil reservoir side
From underneath i can't determine because it's all wet from the region of oil reservoir to the gearbox oil cooler. From the top I can't see anything
I checked the oil pump and its dry
I'm suspecting the oil reservoir or the rocker cover from the right bank.
Did anyone had the same issue?
I changed the oil seal without removing the engine in Ksf MRC at Paris
Thanks in advance

Sounds like the oil tank is leaking. Clean the area as much as you can, then start the engine and check the bottom of the tank with the endoscope.

Ok update
From the top and with the camera I didn't found leaks I have old humidity.
I removed the underneath cover and there was oil everywhere and I could not determine where it was coming from
I washed underneath with a powerful degreasing product and drove home
I found one leak but I doubt that's the only one because this leak is basically the lowest point on the engine and I had oil in upper regions also
What do you guys think ?

And unfortunately I think the engine must come down.
I have a oil weep here also
