Thread: Another oil leak

Dripping down from the hose from the intercooler?

Dripping out of the vacuum pump on the rear of the alternator.

My Alternator failed due to oil contamination from the vacc pump.
Got a good price from Karcraft for a newie

Ean,
mine has oil seeping from the sump gasket just under the alternator, so it's sump off next oil change.

Gday Roger,

Its not the sump gasket, changed mine just before we did the canning trip, but didnt do it properly and it still weeps just a smidge from the rear of the sump..

Looking like it must be the Vacc pump, but will check the I/C hose as that has leaked before from where the EGR was removed..


Hope all is well and the family are good..You haven't been out Wiluna way getting some top shelf for chrissy have you?

Cheers Ean

I have oil dripping from under the Alternater, but it doesnt seem to be coming from above, and I cant seem to see how it can get there..

Its not coming from the rocker cover or cam plug, just seems to be on the frame at the bottom of the alternater and on the adjuster underneath the alt..

Any one had this or got any idea's..

Thanks and Cheers Ean

Ean,

I have a simular prob will watch with intrest!

Mine leaked from the oil return pipe from the vacuum pump. It is a really awkward pipe to fit when installing the alternator & must have somehow got damaged.
