Oil leakage from engine
Cars affected

Background
The flow through the crankcase ventilation may be inadequate in certain operating conditions, and oil leakage may then arise. Most common is leakage at
the joint between the timing cover, the cylinder block and the cylinder head as well as leakage at the crankshaft seal. Well functioning crankcase
ventilation is also very important for avoiding increased oil consumption. Gasket replacement/resealing must only be carried out if the oil leakage does
not cease after the following procedure.
In the case of customer complaint, the following procedure must be carried out.
