2.5 v6 petrol oil leak

Post by Robfv432 » Wed Mar 16, 2022 8:22 am

Hi all just acquired my new ( to me ) bongo absolutely love it needs a good scrub up
We bought it with an oil leak not major just enough in my book to warrant sorting it
Seems to be coming from the sump gasket is this a common occurrence or should I be looking further up
I’ll try and get some pics when the weather improves a bit more
Many thanks in advance

Most common one is the Cam and Crank seals, normally replace them with the cam belt as the problem is access and getting to the front of the engine hence replacing them all at the same time.
