I've just noticed the sheddist reservoir on the 180, strange location for it.

It would stop the tube being so convoluted and kinking. |
small update, I actually got both the front wings off today even though you can still see one in the photo. You'll also noticed ive already made a start on detailing the engine bay, inner wings so far.
http://dc529.4shared.com/img/vY3FnSY...38421584394243 But, I also discovered that the engine requires A&E. http://dc529.4shared.com/img/LLRJvPZ...49025923509583 http://dc743.4shared.com/img/Qo3qZ_E...07900421225701 I'm thinking oil cooler. But there's also evidence of oil around the front bank head gaskets. I'm actually considering saving the diesel and breaking the 180. I can cope with the work I need to sort the body but if its the engine and body its going to be too much for me at the moment. |
Crank seal maybe, oil cooler pipes, or it could be cam cover gaskets, it looks like its been seeping for a long time
|
yes, could be numerous places. Im going to continue the engine bay degrease and clean up the area as much as possible. that will hopefully make it a bit easy to track down.
|
Clean up the oil, fit an airfilter and run it to see where the oil is coming from, it may only require a simple fix.

Just for those wondering what it looked like when I owned it here are some photos. Think this was around 2007ish roughly.

My God that car went downhill in someone's hands - shame.

Thanks for the photos, makes me more eager to get stuck in. In convinced the main oil leak will be oil cooler pipe but im going to change the oil and filter once I've finished cleaning the engine. If its the pipe I can change that without much hassle. Then I need to change the thermostat. When that's done im considering fitting the LPG kit i recently acquired so I'll have performance and economy.
