Oily Mess

(1/2) > >>

Andy the Landy:
On the way to playing out today we noticed oil coming into the cab through the bulkhead :evil:  Stopped at Hartshead Moor services and lifted bonnet to find an oily mess :cry:  Nice Mr RAC man came to piggyback us home :D

Earlier in the week I had been checking all bolt tightness underneath and 4 sump bolts needed tightening. When we got back home I took the oil filter out and realised there was no O ring on the top housing :!:  ( rollockin for the garage that didnt fit it is tomorrow)
Anyway, O ring is now fitted and engine degreased and all appears to be OK ( A good blast over towards Holmfirth seems to confirm it must have been the oilfilter O ring) but is there anywhere else I should check just to be on the safe side
Cheers Chaps

P.S. if you aint invested in AA or RAC I would definately recommend it. My membership has paid for itself with one incident

Datalas: No need to comment on your incounter with the RAC. :wink:

Paul:
Sorry to hear about that Andy. :shock:

However a similar thing happened to me when my motor went in
for service, I drove it out of my garage the day after only to find
it had dumped a load of oil on the garage floor.. :shock:  Called
the garage when it happened and they turned up in 15 mins with
a low loader and a curtisy car, The out come was the oil filter had
fallen off.. [-X  Won't Name and shame but I don't use them anymore.

Andy the Landy:
Normally I try to do as much maintenance myself to save dosh, but didnt have time to do it, so farmed it out.

Lesson learned.

I only took my cav into a garage 4 times, and 4 times it was b******d up and I had to put it right!
Rangie has only been in once, oh dear, oh dear oh dear.....(shakes head).
