Carl Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 There seams to be quite a lot of oil leaking from my oil filler cap on a Vauxhall XE. It runs at approx 5 bar on full throttle and 3 bar on idle. The cap appears to have a breather but it has only recently started leaking since I have changed to Castrol RS 10-60. Anyone got a similar problem?

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I added an extra seal from a spare cap - made it a bit tight to get on but stopped the leak on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Thanks Alex. I had a look at the seal and it did have a few crecks within it. Do you simply need to pull the seal over the top of the two lips that thread into the head when you tighten the cap on? Thanks Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
