    Big oil leak

    Well bugger me, it was still leaking so I've had to take the cam cover off. Turns out it's leaking from the rocker gasket on the right hand side of the exhaust cam. Looks like I'll have to use sealant..

    Big oil leak

    It's definitely engine oil. Here is a picture of my drive after it's rained :lol: I've bit the bullet and fitted a new rocker cover gasket from Ford.. £40 Ouch. I've ran it up to temperature and doesn't seem to be leaking so far so hopefully it is this. I haven't used any sealant so it...

    Big oil leak

    Had a closer look, it looks like its coming from around the power steering pump area. I've taken the rocker cover off and i'll leave it for a bit with some card board underneath to see if it's still leaking. If so I'll replace rocker cover gasket but I'm pretty sure it's not that.

    Engine clatter/rattle on load

    Our 1.7 puma has developed a quite aggressive engine rattle when accelerating about 1500-2000 rpm. At first I thought it was a heat shield but It's coming from the cam area. No there's oil that's been dripping from somewhere in that area, I'm assuming it's the cam cover gasket but can't be...
