Clio 182 Oil Leak and Misfire



  Clio 182 RS
Hey all, new to the forum bought a clio 182 a few months ago and had done an oil service a few ago and since have noticed an oil leak but having trouble pinpointing where it could be coming from any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have found oil down the cambelt & aux belt side of the engine. I have done some investigating and found oil in the following places:
  • Under the upper engine mount, but the cambelt is dry (Since taking the engine mount of I noticed the cambelt is being worn down on the outer edge and is going in to be replaced),
  • On the upper engine mount bolts
  • On the bottom edge of the exhaust manifold (where it attaches to the engine)
  • On the plastic lower cambelt cover
  • In the dephaser solenoid electrical connector
  • In the inlet manifold
At first I thought it was the camshaft seals but now from looking on forum posts I'm wondering if it could be coming from the rocker cover. Any suggestions would be appreciated
