Hi all
It looks like i have an injector seal problem(thanks Matty). Cleaned it all up, took the intercooler off and found oil pooled next to the injectors. Wiped it all down, put it back together and went for a spin around the block not far at all. When i got back there was quite a bit of oil dripping from the bottom of the engine. What I'm asking is are these kind of leaks usually quite heavy? I'm just trying to determine if it could be something else as well.
Thanks in advance for any info

It seems they can leak quite profusely.

Thanks again Matty. I was quite alarmed how much was down there. Think she is sitting on the drive until Fridaywhen i have her booked in for a service and hopefully get theleak fixed quickly. Do you do servicing Mate and if so where are you based? Would much prefer someone with your expertise to look after her

Where are you located Matt? What did you do to sort it Macca? DIY or did you pay somebody. If so what did it cost?
