2.8i rocker cover oil leak
Posted: Mon May 16, 2016 6:48 pm
I've had an ongoing leak from bottom rear corner of the driver's side bank.
I've fitted 2 cork gaskets(both from different local motor factors) with no luck. I've carefully cleaned both mating surfaces and applied blue hylomar sealant. Still it piddles out. I can even feel the oil leak. It's not from the distributor O ring nor is it the inlet manifold leaking.
There is no obvious warping to the rocker cover and I haven't overtightened the bolts.
Do genuine Ford gaskets (if they exist) help? Also I see the club sell quite expensive rubber gaskets-can anyone say if these are any good?
As ever comments are much appreciated.
