Leaking Oil

[chucky]

Hi Guys,
This Is All New To Me, I Have Got A 1990 2.4 Td With Oil Leaking From Top Of Engine,i Think It Is From Rocker Cover Has Anyone Had This Problem,have Just Replaced Head And Before This Was Changed No Leaks Were Present Anywhere!!

[stara]

there is a rubber seal at the rear of the head that sometimes gets overlooked, can anyone confirm this?

[kevb]

where is it coming from on the rocker cover? front back middle.in regards to the seal at rear of rocker cover they have a half moon piece of metal which is siliconed into cylinder head.you said you had the head off recently?did you use new rocker cover gasket did you use silicon with new/old gasket?are all the bolts tight?

Its nothing to worry about, probebly just didn't fit the seal properly. Whip the cover off and have a look, can be redone with RTV sealant if the gasket is split, its not under much pressure, or a vital component.
