What i mean is go to a different garage in your area and get a second opinion. Play dumb don,t say it has been fixed. Just say i have a oil leak. Gizzmo the rabbit (Lee) | |

Possibly on mine it does not show. The best was to do it is a gentle nip the warm up and a light touch for luck. This how i did it on my nova that was cork and it worked a treat Gizzmo (the Rabbit) :) :wave: Lee | |

No not on my corsa but it could rocker cover again re- tighten but only a little if you over tighten you will squeeze the gasket out. I did this on my nova, i hope this helps Gizzmo (the rabbit) :lol: Lee | |
