    Thumbs up No oil leaks on 300TDi

    well i finally did it and eliminated all the oil leaks on my Disco 300TDi, Things i did was Vacuum pump mod,oil return from oil cooler, fitted Provent, and finally T seals. My first attempt at the T seals was a failure, i fitted the rubber seals, coated front and sides with sealastic, put it all together and it leaked worse than before, luckily i never used the car as when i pulled it apart again i found the seals had grabbed between the cap and the casing so the clearance was way over. A bit more of a search turned up a method of injecting silicone instead of the rubber seals. Too easy and now ( for the moment) my landy is leak free.

    Interested in your injection method
    Was it possible with the transfer in situ?
    Thanks,
    Mary

    Yes please, would also like to know.

    I had similar success but having just returned from our first trip after all was fixed, I now have leaky lift pump and weeping rocker cover. Will it ever end

    No oil level is OK. Been running a week now and still not a leak in sight.12engine_hylosil.pdf
