Hello everyone,
as in the title, I have a 1380 A series (not A+) engine that has developed quite a bad oil leak.
It's coming from the right hand (as you stand looking into the engine bay) side of the block, just underneath the cylinder head, at the rear of the block.
It looks like underneath the exhaust manifold.
I think that the main oil feed is in that area.
The engine does not show any other symptoms, and still goes great, it's just having a continuous gradual oil change....
I'm assuming that it's going to be the gead gasket but just thought I'd check if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks in advance.
