Okay..

Just had the major service done last week along with the timing belt..

Now.. I've started leaking oil.. Looks like its from the back of the sump or maybe something above?

Any ideas?

Did you get the crank and cam seals done at the same time? Maybe the rocker covers? These can leak oil if they're not done properly. Either way I would be taking it back to where you had the timing belt done and tell them there's an oil leak since they did the service and you want it fixed free of charge.

Rocker Covers done.. Im not 100% sure on the crank and cam seals..

Rocker covers are a common one to leak if they're not done properly. When I had them done on my Magna, the rear one leaked still. Took it back and they fixed it free of charge.

Sweet.. Should be fine to drive to work though, right?

you should be fine. I doubt you are loosing THAT much oil. Just make sure its not out of oil. If the engine is starting to get louder and you can hear the lifters, put some oil in.

There are a few places that these can leak

Dist Seal
Front end cap seal
rocker covers (may have pinched the rocker cover gasket when they fitted)
Cam Seals
Crank Seal
Rear Main Seal

Now, if you have had a service, get them to show you where it is leaking if they claim that it is not a leak in an area worked on when you had the big service done

Checked before I left home not a drop of oil left.. Called and went crazy at the mechanic he got it towed to his shop and low and behold he did not put the new cam seal in.. He left the old one in there which had literally perished..

So SuFz is looking for a new mechanic.. Any recommendations..?

I think anyone would be better than him. lol

I take mine around the corner where I work. Brisbane Turbo Tune or something like that. They are quite good and work on alot of modded cars.
They are on Nile Street, Woolloongabba

To make matters worse..

My driveway now has a beautiful feature made and designed by Royal Purple as an oil stain.. So I've called him and told him that he needs to take a look again.. Whether or not he's going to charge me Im not sure. He said that the Cam has a mark on it, Any ideas?

SuFz :ninja:

As in a mark where the seal runs? It can be cleaned up with very fine emery cloth or if its too deep a speedy sleeve can be fitted. I wonder how it got marked, you say it was not leaking before it went to him.

Yeah.. No leaks before it went to him.. Th rocker cover was leaking.. You could smell that, oil hittin the rear exhaust shield. He said a speedy sleeve would be the next option, but I don't understand how it got marked..
