i think ive fixed the water leak problem,their was loose connection in the washer jet bottle, hopefully thats sorted.
but the oil leak, im sure its the head gasket leaking, but the engine is covered in oil so hard to tell were exactly its comming from.

check ya hoses for water leaks they can perish if stood with time. try some rad weld in ya radiator if ya think its comin from there...... worst of all it could be something like core plugs in ya bottom end or a cracked head or even water pump. if u cant see a clear leak then its process of elimination which may take time so start with the cheepest. check water level in ya header tank and of that drops then u can eliminate it bein the washer bottle. may be best to get it on a ramp so u can get a good look under neath for tell tell signs.

im sure its the water jet bottle, because its dripping water under and behind the gear box area,and the water jet bottle is directly on top of this area!
so cant be the radiator or coolant pipes?

i think i know whats wrong, but not sure will check properly 2moro, i sprayed the water jets on the sreeen to give it wipe down with wipers, so i think the water bottle for the jets could be leaking or a loose connection happend?
wat u think??
where else could this water like liquid be leaking from anyway??
thanks :thumbs:
