Depends on what jack you have. Ive always lifted cars from the rear diff.

deep joy.

Well il get the front tray off and the cam cover and see what the crack is. Im dreading the Crank Seal i bet its a total bitch, But its due a cambelt anyway.

Would be good if there was a guide. Does Haynes manual have it?

Also i cant see where you get the cambelt DVD from?!

Thanks Guys,

Regarding the oil. I cant see it on any pulleys?! like i said its all down the sides of the engine block. But i cant see if uptop around the tops of the cam covers but you cant see the half moons.

I cant see it being crank seal because of the quantity of oil above the alternator and all over the engine block on both sides.

Yes regards the oil dripping it seems to come from all over the engine underneath . The front tray has alot on it but its also run down onto the crossmember and bell housing.

Yes i heard about the wishones but ive got a big big breaker bar. Hoepfully that might help!

Any more ideas on Oil. Im sure it could well be the cam covers. And i understand that you wouldnt see it leak at the half moons.

Omega General Help / Oil Leak Update, Steering Idler Help
« on: 03 September 2008, 10:04:56 »
Right.

Thanks again for all the help your giving me. Coming back from holiday its now time to sort the leak. After putting in stop leak, and reliving the pressure in the crank case the leak and come to a drip.

Now when i look under the car i can see the alernator is covered in oil and its also covered higher up the engine block. On the other side of the engine its also covered in oil and its running down the block. All be it tiny amounts now.

The only thing is i cant see any oil leak from the cam covers over the exhaust manifold. There is a some oil stanning on the exhuast manifold the nearside & its not coming from power steering.

Does the cam covers leak anywhere else that i wouldnt be able to see it until its below the manifolds cos there is not staining on the offside above the manfold?

Thanks before i tear it apart. But i cant see it being a Crank Seal if all the alternator is covered in it?

The steering idler is moving up and down when i give the wheel a shake. I take it this means its broken. The wishbones are also shot!.

The other arm on the drivers side is that another idler? and does that need to be replaced?

Thanks ALOT people! :y

Omega General Help / Vauge Steering, Knocking
« on: 01 September 2008, 15:11:06 »
Right,

before i go ahead and do a full service on the omega. I need to have a good guess. Basicly from the front end im getting a knocking noise that is pritty loud.

It hard to narrow down but i imagine a few parts might be needing attention. One other main problem is very vauge steering. Any ideas what causes this? hoping its not a full rack replacement!

Cheers again people 8-)

Another small issue with the new car.

Ive searched threw the posts on the forum and come accross a few on how to install them.

Mine is already fitted but what do i need to check. As when you press the button nothing happens and the light doesnt turn on? Any idea what fuse they run off?

update

after drilling the holes it doesnt leak as much now. but its defenatly still leaking the front tray is full of oil. im guess it cant be upto as you would smell it because of the amount of oil.

How much do people think it would cost to get the front crank seal done at a garage?

if it's not the cam covers, then i can only think of a head leak, as not much else in that region could cause a leak

Im sure there loads its can leak from? Front crankshaft oil seal i guess. Im going to drill a 6mm hole in the oil cap to allow it to realease some of the pressure build up. I think blocked breathers it very likely as it hadnt been serviced in a good 2 years.

its not coming from the top of the engine. I would have seen it from the covers and smelt it from the exhaust. It lower down. I dont mean run the engine with the cap off just drill a small hole in the cap to realease the pressure that the breathers arnt doing at the moment.

It hasnt been leaking for a period of time as it was completely no oil there yesterday. And has come on all of a sudden

I havent had a good chance as its dark now and i go on holiday tomorrow. Would removing the cap from the oil or give it some holes to make it realise this pressure might help stop force the oil out?

I know its a bodge but im sick and tired of cars and havent got time till i leave tomorrow
