streetstyle Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 So realized I have a oil leak coming from the car, it seems to be coming from the top part of where the plastic cover is connected to the engine. I have yet to take the top off and have a look, it was recently removed and was not leaking previously so could it just be something hasn't been connected or sealed when reconnected. Also to the right side of the engine is a plastic cap which I'm unclear if it was open or closed (it is now closed, the cap when open is still on a plastic spine so it wont get lost). Picture not great but what is this and should it be open/closed? Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Plastic cap looks like gearbox timing reference bung. Can't figure out the leak... is that under the oil cap/filler? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 looks like warm air intake off exhaust heat shield, could it be dripping from the air filter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
