Primera 1.8 P12. Don't know if anyone else has had a similar issue. I've got a big oil leak coming from somewhere on the rocker cover. Now my first thought obviously is the rocker box cover gasket itself but I've wiped the oil away and it seams to be pooling on the top of the rocker cover and running down from the top? I've pulled the coil packs out and they are dry inside so I don't think it's coming from those seals. The only other thing is the seal on the oil filler cap but it seams fine. Any ideas?
Kind regards. |

The solenoid gasket could be leaking.

I'll take a look. Run the car and try and see where it's coming from. It's quite a decent leak, I've gone from a 'dry'engine bay to an oily lump in no time!!!!

I've found the leak. It's coming from a bolt on top of the rocker cover next to the protrusion for the solenoid? Peeing out it was! I removed it and added a little fibre washer underneath which has seemed to have stemmed the flow. Is this just a bolt to hold the rocker cover on?
