Oil Leak, is this normal?

[DrR]

Seams to have got worse over time.

Are you sure it hasnt just had oil spilt down there from a topup?

 

[DrR]

Nope, as i clean it up, give it hell then it comes back.

Also looks like the fuel filler cap is not fully sealed to me, there is black "blowing" marks on the metal around it.

 

[Fred@BTM]

that could do with a re-seal!

You have to top-up? It's practically unheard of.

Re seal dude, dont think oil is going to leak from the plenum/inlet area. 1 litre in 5 years? thats rather exact bearing in mind the 5 oil changes it has had?

 

[DrR]

It's only had 2 services. Due 3rd soon along with cambelt etc.

Well guy before bought a top up bottle, and he used about half, and i've used about half.

 

[Fred@BTM]

get is resealed at cambelt time, no biggie

 

[Stava]

I dont think thats anything major. Try the re seal on the filler cap, it doesn't look like an area that will leak really, not low enough to be cam cover.
