P38 Paul Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone , I have oil leaking from my oil filler cap , I cleaned it all down & turned the rubber seal round but that only lasted about 6 weeks before it started leaking again . Now the other day whilst the engine was running I foolishly took the cap off & the oil sprayed all over the place including me & made a hell of a mess , my question is :- is all of this splashing normal ? it doesn't seem to be under pressure , just a lot of splashing about , I wonder if a splash guard has fell off under the rocker cover ? has anyone else tried this with the engine running & got the same result & what did you do to stop it leaking from the filler cap ? looking forward to your replies , Paul .

Escape Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yours is a diesel, right? Then I'd look at the breather/oil separator between valve cover and intake hose. If that's blocked, you're likely to get a bit more splashing. Or you just need a new seal on the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
