Oil on top of butterfly
« on: 25 February 2011, 16:24:24 »
My omega has been a bit hesitant to start for the last couple of days.When it starts it's like its not getting enough fuel.I had a look under the bonnet and there was oil seeping out where the air intake hose clamps onto the throttle body.I removed the hose and the butterfly is covered in oil.What can be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Jock, when cleaning the Throttle Body, pay particular attention to the very small hole in the side of the Body & the thin plastic pipe feeding it as they can become bunged up solid  :y
