pupstew Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've got a 1999 TD5 110 which I have finally found the source of the oil leak on!! It's not the FPR as first thought but turns out to be the cam cover seal which I suspect is part number ERR7094G. However I need some help! Do I buy the genuine seal @ £26 or do I get the remake at about £9? Plus does anyone know what torque the fixing bolts should be re-fitted at? Cheers....

Les Henson Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's quite a common problem for the TD5 cam cover seal to leak. I've even replaced with new and it's still leaked. What I do now is use the old seal if it's not damaged. Just clean up and then a thin film of RTV sealant cures it. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pupstew Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 The old seal didn't have any obvious damage but I put it back with some red gasket sealant and was unsuccessful. Saying that it was an old tube of sealant so maybe I should try a new tube. Seems to be leaking from the rubber D to the rear of the block.

V8 Freak Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 That's the place they all want to leak. I've not used genuine gaskets. Careful application of a good sealant and it's not leaking. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pupstew Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Cool well I will get the new gasket, what sealant did you use?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I have some from Halfords I think.. Grey stuff that is meant to be anti-burst and good for holding back the Oil.... If I get a sec I'll nip into the garage and have a look for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pupstew Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Just had a look on their website and they have a loctite one which looks about right. That's a job to purchase tomorrow. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 This is the one. The nozzle doesn't clog and has worked fine on loads of applications from diff casings to rocker cover.Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pupstew Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 That's the one I got, thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
