Oil Issues

Post by SamJJJ »

Hello,
Before I sink money into these issues, I just thought I might ask about them first to people who would most likely know something about it. My N12 (Non-turbo, GL Hatch, all stock) has started leaking quite a bit of oil out of one spark plug terminal. I just got all oil seals replaced & it was really right out of the blue. Could it be something as simple as a spark plug seal or gasket causing the trouble?
If anyone of you knowledgeable people could answer, it would be greatly appreciated.

Id be guessing you have oil leaking from the rocker cover gasket and running down into the plug recesses.

Hmm, I was kind of fearing that possibility. Thanks for the feedback, mate.

try just giving the rocker cover nuts a bit of a turn and see if that helps.
Dont rip into them just tweak them up.
