Hey everyone!
So we have had a pretty bad opil leak for a while now, like about 500ml per about four hours of driving. No blue smoke, no oil patches under when parked. I drove it to warm it up, then parked and looked but no signs of leak. Ran about 2000rpm for a minute then came off the gas and again, no leaks. It's a 1600 engine and looks like it Brazilian (or at least has lots of parts from there).
I looked around underneath and there are definite signs of oil leaking. No spray on the bumber or rear of engine, but it looks like there is leakage from the drain coming from the oil filler cap (not sure what it's called). I pulled out the two rear plugs and one on the right-hand side looks like signs of oil on the plug? Really doesn't look good I don't think. The other one looks less blackened, but I haven't checked the forward two plugs yet. I am going to replace the air filter as well, as it looks dirty.
I am very new to kombis, so any help is really appreciated here.
