Oil leak...

[thenick]

Hi all,

My Chim seems to have developed a small oil leak but I can't see where its coming from! I have had a leak with the power steering u bend before so I checked all around there but it seems to be coming from the other side of the engine, near the oil filter. From the top of the bay I can't see any sign of a leak and no wet looking bits but when I look from next to the offside front wheel with a torch I can see a bit of wetness on the block its self which seems to be somewhere next to the oil filter, sort of behind/underneath the oil pump on the off-side of the block. I can't see any wet seals around the area which suggests its coming down from something a little higher... The leak isn't terrible but it leaves a new tiny patch every morning which cant be more than a few drops but It is annoying and I would like to solve the problem, so does anyone know where it might be coming from? I will jack the car up when I take it back home next week to have a closer look if no solution can be found...

Thanks,

Nick

Rocker cover?

as far as I can tell it isn't the rocker cover as I just cleaned them last weekend so any leaks should be fairly obvious but i'll have a closer look!
