KZ oil leak

Post by Thabogrobler »

My beloved 'lux is leaking oil - again!

Two weeks ago I had to replace the clutch due to a gearbox seal leaking. Sommer replaced the crank and rear gearbox seals(Good quality NOK seals) aswell, while we where at it.

Now it leaks again. Seems that there are some oil on a 12-15mm oil pipe from the turbo and some oil marks on the block.

After disasembly, we steam cleaned the whole chasis, so, no, the oil is not what is left of the last leak.

Any ideas or first hand experiences? :?:

Maybe the tappet/rocker cover is leaking oil at the rear of the cyliner head.
