8 years after rebuilding the 2.2 motor, some minor oil leaks have finally pushed me to drop the engine and get them sorted. One turned out to be at the scavenge outlet but the other looks like the the front IMS cover - hence the need to pull engine for access.
  Love/hate these old engines! - Tony |

I feel your pain... I rebuilt my motor then spent the next few years chasing oil leaks that were mostly external. The breather hose was leaking, wouldn't seal until I bought a new hose, then had some oil leaking thru the studs on the cam towers, also the sump plate wanted to leak until I replaced it with an aluminum one, then had the drivers cam cover leak after about 8 years. Then had the oil cooler leak a little bit... car has been down the last year, I don't yet if it still has any leaks.
It is very reliable and a blast to drive, so there's that! |
