jhc 28 Report post Posted August 13, 2012 God can't help you now. God hates Alfa drivers. And he REALLY hates Smaky. It's nothing to do with Alfas, it's just cos he's a bastard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhc 28 Report post Posted August 13, 2012 Ps, sounds like you need a new rocker cover gasket and the correct tightening sequence/torque figures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhc 28 Report post Posted August 13, 2012 Hard to argue with preventative measures. A close eye on the warning lights and a can of oil in the boot should hold things off. A few water bottles can't help either. Then smaky will come and tell you I'm a.moron and what's actually wrong and everyone's a winner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted August 13, 2012 All of the above.... but the cracked rocker cover isn't helping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffo 3 Report post Posted August 18, 2012 Well Alex, the crack in the cover seems to be fine. It's the other side now - the LH side as you look at the bugger. Got a 5 litre bottle in the boot and I check it every second day. It loses anywhere between 0.5 and 0.75 of a litre in that time!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted August 19, 2012 He's right, water bottles can't help, especially as it's oil thats's escaping Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
