best to start from scratch. Unbolt everything, clean...and bolt back up. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

My guess is that its from the half moon seal between the engine and gearbox

Bugger. As im doing this at my mums place in kent, taking the engine out is a no no. as ive been there long enough now. I used well seal on the hard half moon seal. thought it be fine etc. but didn't trim it. Anyway, what could i do now :( Cheers.. Shit Happen's |

Shit, bloody, bollocks, cock, wanker, lol. Where was i meant to trim it from. has anyone got any pictures? would placing silicone round the outside edge seal it till maybe i come across someone who will lend me there garage :) Cant belive this. thought that was sorted.. P.s, im gonna ask if i could sort it out at there's. should not take to long to do. But please give me tips on what i should do to keep it sealed chears :) Edited by Markie_D on 24th Feb, 2008.

Its worth double checking what is exactly leaking before attempting to remove this because if you can't swap it over like I just described then its engine out jobby! If it isn't the half moon seal, what else could it be. Ill have to check next week when im not to busy. So u used silicone and not sealant than steve ? Shit Happen's |

have you used the correct backplate to block gasket i used the wrong one omce and it pissed out. the difference was the shape around the bolt for the alternator bracket slightly different shape but enough to leak when you get a gasket kit they sometimes come with both types and theres not much difference with a quick glance Edited by Carl on 24th Feb, 2008. no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

will that be a problem ? I see there is 2 gaskets in th kit. Black and light bluie colour. which one do i use ? http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=36081 Cheers.. Shit Happen's |

Sorry not the clevis pin. the pin that holds the gearbox rod change onto the other rod part coming out of the gearbox. cant remeber the name of the pin ? im crap at remebering names. They have been put on wrong way round, as there tapperd pins. so if i have to take the engine out, which i hope i dont. then its gonna be harder to get out.. Cheers. Shit Happen's |

They are parallel so should knock out both ways. Roll pin's the name then thanks for that matty.
I thought they were tapperd. well glad it should be ok to get out then, if thats the case.. hope not 
Ill let you know what it is thats leaking when i get round to sorting it out this week or next. Yeah, if someone could comfirm what gasket it is also. Blueie coloured one, or black. Thanks alot. Shit Happen's |
