Got a funny one here, attempting to cure a leak around the rear of the crankcase, seems to be weeping out of the vertical join, wiped completely dry at night it's wet again in the morning, definitely coming out of the join.
OK got the barrels lifted of and had a look in the camshaft trough, almost empty, thought as much.
gently turning the engine over, notice what oil is in the trough getting pickud by the cams - good, then I spot a hole, perhaps an eighth big in the rear wall of the camshaft trough.
It looks quite smooth, shoved a small wire probe into it , it goes in a fair way.
Surely I would have noticed this hole before,(considering how familiar I am with the internals of this motor.
Any ideas folks - porous case maybe.
What about a cure, would some of that plastic metal work
Any chance this is one of those mods of days gone buy
how come I missed it - Should I go to spec savers
