Are you sure the leak is not the pipe at the rear of the oil cooler? That’s a common place to leak. |

After 2000 km trip, I have a lot of oil on the engine cover where the throttle body is. Before the trip I put 3 o-rings on the air inlet connection to the throttle body, as described on this forum.

Hi all, I checked mine this morning after noticing oil on the bottom of the undertray - no smell or dripping but is obvious if you look around the engine.

How have people managed to tighten the 14mm bung on top of the oil cooler?

Just a quick update to say I managed to get access to this and (hopefully) seal it all up! I took the throttle body off in the end, which was the easiest way of getting a long 3/8 extension down as with the TB off it's almost straight down. With a 14mm hex socket - it was a tight fit but I managed to feel the socket onto the plug by feeling just behind the idler pulleys, and then sealing it up. Went out for a bit of a drive today and it was still dry when I got back so fingers crossed! |
