X-xyk Member 37 Member For: 4y 7m 8d Posted 11/04/21 12:06 PM Share Posted 11/04/21 12:06 PM Hi all, had a look around couldn't find anything. After I decided to be silly in my ba xr6t and do a burnout, this was my first one in this car which has me really gutted😅. I've lost oil when the car is running, seems to out sides of rocker cover and possibly top of timing cover. Any ideas if this is more then gaskets at fault? Or have I kicked myself in nads bad lol, tia. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. pressuring the rocker cover and blowing out seals when on boost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
