    Help Possible oil leak from missing cam cover

    Hi All,

    I had a new cylinder head fitted on my td5 a few days ago and already have a oil leak .. I think it is coming from just below the half moon at the top rear of the cylinder head.. Going through the rave cd and feeling at the back, I think they did not fit the rear plastic cam cover, without this fitted would it cause a oil leak.????

    Thanks for your time, Vince

    if this is the same as a tdi then yes, easy fix to quickly pull off cam cover and refit.

    just take it back and let them fix it.........

    it will be covered under warranty.......




    the D rubbers or half moons......should have sealant on them to stop them leaking......
    maybe none was used........

    Make sure the front one(large round plastic) has a new O ring fitted.If that falls out you will also let oil out,but worse still,water and debis blown by the fan can get in.
