    Oil from the Welch plug???

    Hi Guys, is it possible/ common to have an oil leak from a welsh plug? If so what are the common causes e.g excessive pressurisation of the crankcase, wear of the mating surface etc. I suspect there is a slight oil leak at the welsh plug located on the exhaust side (in between the side tappet covers).

    Cheers Joe.

    Hah cheers for the correction. Maybe oil drizzling down from the side tappet cover and accumulating around the welch plug...

    I don't know the LR 4-cylinder engines so I might be totally wrong.
