Nice to hear, did you change to 10W40, too? This is what I use in my Y26SE.

General Car Chat / Re: Astra J 1.6 A16XER, Oil above Manual Gearbox???

So, took the breather off, it was loose and tape around thread (if any) was brittle and broken. Put teflon tape to thread and tightened well. No leak anymore, hopefully job jobbed.

So 2010 Astra J seems to leak Gear Oil from gearbox breather, what the hell is going on. Is the breather something you should change sometimes to the gearbox?

Yes, spacers are good. I used size 34/60/4.5 one after another to pull bearing in. If I remember right after having pulled two spacer thickness I taped three of them together
to make it easier to remove them in the end as single spacer can drop to the groove.

I mean to pull the hub in as Nick W said, sorry.

Thanks Enceladus and GastronomicKleptomaniac, that is the one, I remember 10 or 12mm allen. I am afraid rubber is hard as glas after 24 years, I try to find this seal.

Thanks Dave, everything is possible when I am working but now I am looking for spare number of the seal between canister frame and engine block. It is original from 2001, I have owned this car almost from new. You can see the seal below.

Omega General Help / Oil Leak around Oil Filter Area, V6, Y26SE

« on: 07 June 2025, 15:04:05 »

So still oil leaking from somewhere. I have canister type filter and both canister and cap is wet in outer bottom side. Cam seals are ok. Canister is not loose so could it be the sealing between it and engine block. What kind of seal there is and does anybody have spare part number. What else it could be? I remember oil cooler pipes are there and also crank sensor. All tips welcome.
