Alan t Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi first would like to say hello as this is my first post on the forum. My 02 plate tdi has started leaking oil from behind or on top of the alternator, any ideas would be greatly appreciated please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Welcome Presumably a Td5 Discovery rather than a Tdi, if it's an 02 plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It can only really be the rocker gasket (quite comon), or the large black plug at the front of the engine (also common). There's also where the injector wiring loom exits the underside of the camshaft housing. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan t Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks' for that, the oil seems to drip off the bottom of the alternator and is difficult to see exactly where it is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan t Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 All fixed now,oil pump on the back of the alternator was the problem and as luck has it. It was still under guarantee. There is a God after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
