Timing Chain Tensioner oil leak? Tue, 20 September 2005 23:43 Go to next message
http://users.tpg.com.au/nbdean/oilleak.jpg

Have an 18rgu in a ra28 (i know the pic is a 2tg)

Now I thought the oil pump was leaking.... then decided it
was leaking fuel. So i replace all fuel lines in the engine bay
incl. filter.

Degreased all the muck, but this morning after driving to work
i find that there is an oily residue that seems to be leaking from the center of what i think is the timing chain tensioner.

What does this mean the prob is?

Tensioner? Chain? a seal on the tensioner or something?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Nathan

I should finish that one day.
Yeah the standard round edged o-ring did the trick.

Just do it up so that the engine sounds good. Too loose and the chain will rattle, too tight and the engine will struggle to idle.
