weepy plug

Post by eastona »

Number 4 plug, slight oil leak from around the base.

I don't think it's coming from the rocker cover, but yet to confirm that.

It seams to be coming from where the plug goes into the head, odd place, what can cause this? It is dribbling down the side of the head from the plug. It doesn't use much oil, gets used every day and goes like a train.

Maggie the Minor 1000 with a totally standard 1098.

You need to confirm that before you go any further and as the car is running fine its unlikely to be a leaking plug.
