300 tdi, oil under head bolts


Recommended Posts

Hi, really puzzled by this. Have come across similar in some searches but but no definitive cause. Oil appearing under a couple of head bolts on manifold side of engine,  initially thought from rocker gasket but it was replaced and everything cleaned off and it's back again and definitely coming from these bolts,  one at front, other near rear. Engine is at 92k. I've also got white/blueish smoke on cold startup if it's sat overnight but that's another post I think,  otherwise drives & runs great.  Any ideas or advice? ?

Cheers,  Martin

Is that a crack in the second pic?

Running from the Bolt head corner at around 3 o'clock, to the end of the screw on the jubilee clip.

don't think it's a crack - more like the shape of the casting but will examine in more detail in the daylight tomorrow and report back.
