Hi guys ,
i`ve just got a renault 19 rti 1.4 1995 n reg , e7j engine
My question is she is p*ssing oil out i`ve changed the rocker cover gasket as that was leaking changed a couple of hoses that were split , but shes still pouring it out !
It`s so bad i don`t want to drive her as she leaves a trail wherever shes been . It`s def coming from the top of the engine and running down the back onto the manifolds and along her under carriage !
she has pressure & no oil in the header tank , although the oil filler cap did have mayo and also the larger hose off the back of the rocker cover has got sludge in it ?
Am i right in thinking "headgasket ?" or could there be some other reason for such a huge leak ?
As you can guess i`m new to Renaults but have worked on cars all my life since early teens mostly Fords , Vauxhall, Toyota`s so this engine is new to me any help you can offer will be gratefully recieved !
Many thanks in advance !
P.s for got to add she has been standing pretty much since just before xmas so shes going to be damp too !
