minus-squaredumblederp@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 days agoCrawling round my engine bay, looks like I fixed the oil leaks like a god dam baller. I mean I tightened the three nuts with oil leaking around them - two in the rocker cover and one in the timing chain cover. But nonetheless oil leak stopped.
minus-squaremysticgreg@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 days agoOh man in my youth I owned more than one car where the lack of an oil leak meant it was probably out of oil :D Hopefully it’s all good now! Getting timing chain covers off of anything made this century is a ballache :(
minus-squaredumblederp@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 days agoOn my 40yo diesel Toyota the timing cover is right there. It’s so accessible. Fortunately it was done at 215k and I’m only now at 260k.
