coolfgxr6t Member 30 Member For: 11y 9m 27d Posted 28/11/14 05:39 AM Author Share Posted 28/11/14 05:39 AM This is after degreasing it then taken for a 10 min drive. Does it look like its coming from timing cover or sump? Does it usually start leaking this bad in a matter of weeks since it wasn't leaking a month ago when got serviced.

Seaton Donating Members 537 Member For: 12y 10m Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 28/11/14 10:49 AM Share Posted 28/11/14 10:49 AM I bought a Mazda MPS brand new in 2010. 5000km in it started leaking oil. About 8 trips to the dealer and a new engine later, as the old one had a porous engine block.All cars can have problems. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89646-oil-leak/page/2/#findComment-1514742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it usually start leaking this bad in a matter of weeks since it wasn't leaking a month ago when got serviced.timimg cover leak will be seen from the very front of the sump. have a look at the front of the engine,there will be oil everywhere including up around the turbo housing,thermo fans blow it all over the place.your pics look like the filter is leaking.the turbo oil line is located above the filter bolted into the block itself.
