ford number 1 Donating Members 602 Member For: 20y 4m 8d Gender: Male Location: N/W Sydney Posted 28/06/13 08:48 AM Share Posted 28/06/13 08:48 AM I took my car to dealer for warranty work and they fixed what they said was leak from timing cover.I picked car up and noticed new spot on garage floor the following morning.Its been at Ford last 2 days and they are now saying its leaking from head area but will fill me in more on Monday.Below is a pic I got last weekend when it was up on hoist.Not sure how serious it is but I bet they will do all they can to get out of paying. Its a dealer warranty and not Ford as its a 08 model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said that the leak is coming from above the timing case cover which requires dismantling front of the engine. My concern that they will introduce more problems due the amount of engine components that have to be removed to enable them to reseal the timing case. Since this is a common issue with the FG's, has anyone else had a fully sucessful repair done to fix this leak. I was thinking about just putting up with and keep wiping it every month or so.?

I have had a few bad repairs done by Expensive Daewoo in the past on my V8 under warranty, so I am very cautious they may introduce other problems to a perfectly good motor.
