be losing quite a bit of oil ive had a good
look around the engine and the only place can see damp
with oil is the the rocker cover seal line can you lose quite alot if this is leaking.

Daz Neil's not here he is working today don't know what time he will be home.

Why haven't you checked the oil at least once a week?

That pipe from the turbo is the oil return pipe, ours did leak from there before but we didn't lose that much

:shock:

Oh and he has left his phone at home as it was flat.
