oil leak

Hi, My F7P engine in my 19 16v has developed a slight oil leak. Just seems to be a few drips at the moment. Had a look and I can’t really see where it is coming from- somewhere at the back of the engine on the cam belt side. Guess a seal somewhere has perished. I don’t really have time or...

Hey All, Hope someone may be able to help. Have a megane dci Renault sport 08 plate with a garret turbo fitted. Every now and again I get burning oil smell inside cab and a whisp of blue smoke from under the bonnet up past windscreen. 2 garages cannot find this leak.. any ideas??? Turbo still...

Hi all I recently rebuilt an old forum members car named Vera as my friend bought her from a guy on here and she blew up in 15 miles !! Any how she now runs great with a brand new set of liners etc but I have a persistent oil leak I've had the sump off twice but am now fairly suspicious of...

Have just come home after taking the 21 out for a quick drive since getting it moted last week and have noticed some smoke coming out from the bonnet. Popped the bonnet to have a look and it seems that i have a small oil leak coming from the bottom of the turbo, think its the oil return pipe...

Hi Folks! My neighbour changed the oil in my Renault 5 Supercinq on Monday and now it has an oil leak. I wondered if perhaps he didn't tighten the bung/screw plug that seals the sump drain. I discovered it about an hour ago and he is out at present when he returns I will let him know I also...

Hi, I have a 1990 Phase 2 R21 Turbo and I have a small oil leak and I think its either coming from the camshaft or crankshaft front oil seal, I wont know till I take it apart, also while I have the T/Belt off I'm goning replace the it, dose anyone know how many teeth the R21 Turbo belts have and...

its got a gearbox oil leak instead... :( although looking at it im 99% sure its the drainage plug thats the culprit... so here is my questions is the washer the same as the sump plug one? ( a copper compression one ) and how much oil does the box hold.... i have 3 litres...

I'm sure you can guess from the title that I've finally found the problem with the engine using so much oil now, however this little story is going to shock you more than you'd expect. Firstly a little background for those not in the know. I bought the car about 2 months ago from a trade...

While I'm waiting for a replacement blower motor I decided to look at my next problem. The sump appears to have been fitted by a bunch of cowboys:roll: They have obviously used a lot of some kind of mastic which has squeezed out all round, and there seems to be a variety of different bolt...

In my R19 TSE 1.4, I have an oil leak which appears to be just at the front of the cylinder head gasket. When the oil level is maximum on the dip stick, the oil leaks a fair bit when the engine gets hot (which I clean up BTW after the car has been parked for a while) BUT I notice now after...

Ok, i've narrowed my niggling oil leak down the main rear crank shaft oil seal....picked one up from Renault today.....Richard Hillier mentioned that it'll need a "special" tool to be fitted - anyone got one & has anyone have any other handy tips regarding fitting it (other than soaking in oil...

My R19 TSE (approx 18 yrs old) is leaking a little oil and it appears to be coming from the aera of the cylinder head gasket, not the sump. And it only leaks when the engine is hot. Having a new head gasket fitted in a garage is out of the question as it would cost probably more than 1,000...

There seems be an oil leak that has developed over night, it seems to be coming from the bottom of the cambelt cover. Any ideas?? is this a common problem?? I was thinking it might be the crankshaft seal?? Thanks

Hey, There's been a slow oil leak for a while now. Had a quick look underneath, and thought it as coming from the sump plug washer. Went about changing the oil today, and cleaned it all up. Changed the filter too, incase it was coming from there and running down. I put new oil in, started...

I have a slight oil leak from just above the sump. It's not the sump or sump gasket but the gasket for the part which is connected above the sump, what part is it I'm looking for as I don't know the name. Thanks.

Well Went outside today and noticed quite an oil patch on the drive. Bit of an Inspection reveaed the back of the block and area around there is a bit soaked in oil as (RUBBISH) pics below show. Thought it might be the crankshaft pulley seal but I'm not sure. Anything else in that area it...

Been cleaning up the engine bay today (F3P) and noticed oil leakage down the front of the block, I pulled off the HT lead on cyl 1 and there is oil inside the little chamber containing the spark and on the HT lead itself.... I've cleaned it all up so I'll have to keep a close eye to see where...

what is there to leak oil around the back right corner of the lump, stat housing side at the back. basically i used 1/3 of distance between dipstick oil level markings on 200 mile round trip to hill power and back, there is fresh oil leaking off the very bottom of the gearbox into the box drip...

I have oil leaking into the gap above the spark plugs in 1,2,4, Is this common or is it just that the rocker cover gasket is not holding it anymore. No oil is leaking down the outside of engine bay.
