Hi all today I brought a Berlingo van 2002 1.9D. Always been a bit wary of french cars but so far it seems good after 100 miles of driving. I went for the straight diesel as its alot more reliable and less to go wrong lol.
Only thing wrong is a oil leak down the back of the engine. I already knew this and got it cheap with 88k miles so thought i'l buy it and fix it. Oil leaks have always been one of my pet hates. Got it on the ramps on the drive and it looks like its coming from the top of the engine as its wet near the top when I look up with a torch. Am I right in thinking the only possible place it could leak near the top is the rocker cover gasket? Where else can it leak from besides there and sump gasket? Im guessing there is a oil pressure switch somewhere too?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
Also one last thing which isn't too much bother and thats the rev counter doesn't work. Sometimes moves a tiny bit when you rev it. But oil leak is more important at the minute.
