i'v had oil coming outta the seals and gaskets on my 94 1.4L spi and i has sludge under the oil cap i'm i dont think the gasket has gone but i went out and got myself a 400ml bottle of redex stop leak for £3.60, it could just be a simple case of buying some of this instead of slashing out 100's to fix ur gasket | |
