Would a failing head gasket leak oil?
Discussion
As the title says really...
I have another thread which has seemed to has run it's course about an oil leak I am suffering:
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... (sorry if I'm breaking the rules by linking it)
The car is leaking oil down the back of the engine at an alarming rate and I'm wondering if its coming from the head gasket.
I have checked the following and eliminated them as a suspect:
- Rocker Cover gasket
- Turbo oil feed
- Turbo oil return
- Various other oil feeds
I had a service 3 weeks ago and since then have put 3 litres of oil in to keep it topped up!!
I just can't figure out where it's coming from
Thanks guys!
Mike
