Car has sprung a leak!
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 1:43 pm
Hi,
I have got a R reg Corsa LS 1.0 12v and i noticed about a week ago that there was loads of oil in the engine bay. I topped up the oil and left it a week to see if loads of oil was leaking and hardly any had gone.
After searching for a leak, i finally found what the problem is. I think it is the fuel injector, but not 100% sure as i have about as much car knowledge as i have rocket knowledge . So I'm hoping somewhere on here with more knowledge then me can help.
The reason i think its the fuel injector is because the more revs the car is it, the more it leaks. When idling it drips about twice a minute, with half revs it drips about 20 - 30 times a minute.
This is the part thats leaking:
And closer:
And up close:
Any help would be appreciated very much.
