oil leak

[norby]

hello, help required on my 2.2 dti vectra, after washing of leaking oil from the engine to find the leak (now leaking so much it is spilling out the undertray onto the road) i think it is coming from the brake pump and the rocker gasket? does the brake pump require filling with oil when replaced with a new gasket? as its now making a rattling noise after leakin out as i cleaned the surface off before refitting....

now oiled up the pavement outside the house to, not good!

not at the moment, i took the brake pump off to have a butchers and it is much worse now! going to get gasket from the stealers tomorrow and fit it on wed, fingers crossed, i will be changing the rocker gasket as well as that is leaking to......

yep.. if it's leaking get it all changed..

The vac pump is normally never touched.. they either work or they don't..

Have a good look at the oil pressure switch buddy as that is quite a common failure on DTi's and oil will get everywhere !!!!!!

thanks for the reply, got the gaskets from the stealers today so should be setting about it on wednesday, i should all being well have a workshop manual by then as i like to torque things, the vac pump has stopped it racket so it must have filled with oil,

i will be taking a few pictures so i will post them when i get the chance..

well i think i hav sorted out the leaks, rocker gasket and brake pump both done and no leaks yet!

what a mess when i took the under tray off! i have had to take off the matting as it was full of oil and just dripping out as i took it off, i have done around 30 miles and no sine of a drip yet!

oh boy what a leak! took the whole under tray off and found that the cap on the oil pump was finger tight! got the socket on it and now sorted, not a drop more used in 1500 miles........
