Title: oil leak from near spark plugs
Post by: limpett on 05 May 2010, 19:26:42

i have just had to stop because of smoke coming from under the bonnet. when i looked in there was a large pool of oil on the left side where the spark plugs are fitted on a 2.5 v6 petrol engine. does any one know why this would happen

Leaking cam cover gasket - probably caused by blocked breathers.
