24Orient Hello, can anyone tell me what is this cover (see photo) and how to seal the oil leak Thanks Steve
ramrod Engine oil leak, Start from the very top, work downwards. Clean the entire engine to make it easier to find the source. Have you ever removed the inlet manifold to replace the oil trap?
24Orient Thanks, but it is leaking from the metal cover with the red gasket 'goo'. I am wanting to know what the cover is for and which sealant to use.
ramrod Can't be That cover is bolted to the transmission Unless you have mistook the leak for engine oil, whereby it is actually transmission oil that is leaking
24Orient Very good. I had missed the obvious. I'll put a white drop sheet on the ground to confirm the colour of the leak.
24Orient I believe I have found the source of the leak. It is transmission fluid coming from the dipstick tube. The fluid was so dirty that I assumed it was oil. Thanks again for your advice. Kind regards Steve
