2a-Egg Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Any ideas why / how oil would be getting out of this, looks like its being pushed out when the truck is running.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_meakin Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 There are big rubber seals under those - are yours perished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan_meakin Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 They are very cheap and fit under a steel cap under the bolt. I've never had oil come out of them but have had moisture get in. If you replace, be careful not to over tighten. Would be a good idea to do the rocker gasket at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, took the bolt off to check it today, not looking great so will replace, put it back on with a little bit of well seal just to stop the majority of oil escaping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So re seating and putting a bit of well seal on has worked but i am going to get new gaskets and seals i think. Might aswell replace it all with new then i know it should all be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_meakin Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Good idea - cheap parts. Don't overtighten the rocker bolts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
