Thread: Recommended Indy - TDV6 oil leaks

My suggestion would be Darren at Aztech 4x4 in Rivervale, Darren is also on here as DazzaTD5. I haven’t used his services yet, but will be in the future.

Have you replaced the oil cooler assembly yet?

No. I have been seeing a few posts of those leaking into the V and coming out front and back of the engine. You suspect that over other seals at this age? Thanks for the tip

It's the first thing I check when seeing any tdv6 with a big oil leak, yes.

Do they leak from the cooler to housing gasket, the cooler to block seals or from either/both like the 4.4 coolers?

Edit: Originally the 4.4 cooler to housing gasket wasn't a replaceable item but now it's a spare part. Is the V6 cooler to housing gasket now a spare part too?

Ah it’s not a big leak volume wise and I’ve previously looked for oil in the V and not found any. I suspect it’s other sources on mine, but I’ll take another look today.

I figure it’s a body off and redo all the cam seals and other stuff that bolts on and can leak. Anyone care to provide their recommendations of Indies? I was going to DIY but just can’t be bothered.

Typical cost to get the body off/on for a standard car with no accessories to deal with?

Cheers.
