Oil leaking from pulley side
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2017 8:00 pm
I've had an oil leak for ages (years) but now need to fix it.
I'm not entirely sure where it is though but the alternator gets caked and exhaust too, I think i've seen oil near / below the cam gears last time I had the covers off.
So with that in mind i've bought a cambelt kit (232 teeth) with tensioners and cam seals, and half moons and a waterpump for good measure - it's been about 5 years since I last did the cambelt on this FTO.
I'm hoping to do this over the holiday period, I'll grab some RTV before I start too, thinking of removing the cams and doing those cap seals, and half moons, and rtv on the cam carrier of course.
So question is have I got everything covered there to sort it and can this be done in a day? (need the car back on the road the following day)
Anything else it could be that i've overlooked?
I don't lose enough oil to require frequent top up, but it's enough to mess the drive and cause a burning smell from the dripping on the exhaust.
Thanks
