N/A or turbo ?
oil switch,cam cover,oil cooler,oil feed/return to turbo,sump to block,VVT solenoids and others

 

Hi thanks for the reply it's non turbo so will check the list a shame really as its a nice car.

 

start with the tappet cover gastet, look at the crank and camshaft seals. and look to see if the oil pressure switch is pushing oil through the wiring. often mistaken for something else... just clean the engine fully and drive... see exactly where the leak is coming from.

 

Cheers for that. 😉👍

 

Oil pressure switch is a common fault on these, although there is a modified part available from Vauxhall which supposedly doesn't suffer from the same failures.

 

Cheers buddy, it's been dripping while it's stationery, so you could be right, I haven't looked to see where the oil switch is, as I've only just got the car.

 

Oil pressure switch is #1 in this picture, assuming this is the correct engine:

Hi buddy, oil switch ok👍, but the crankshaft pulley oil seal is pi....... out, so good to go, spraying everywhere, I have noticed the power steering resovour is quite messy, any known leaks from this unit. 😉
