Subject:

 

Engine Oil Leaks

 

Vehicles:

 

All vehicle types with V6 DOHC petrol engine (X25XE and X30XE)

 

Condition:

 

Recent investigations have also highlighted that the oil pressure regulation plunger can become stuck, causing too high oil pressure and resulting in oil leaks from gaskets and / or seals.

Before replacing the affected gasket(s), check the operation of the oil pressure to ensure that it does not exceed 6 bars through all engine speeds.

 

Remedy:

 

If oil pressure exceeds 6 bars, then it will be necessary to replace the oil pump and the affected gasket or seal.
