well no offence to any woman, but my mum its hard to explain mechanics to her. she just asked how the fuel tap worked on my bike that i was fixing and it took the best part of 20 mins lol i was told that the high pressure caused by the oil leak made it pop the cap. the cap now missing. she is gonna get some more oil and a new stop cap and try again. i managed to make her realise that it wasnt my fault , it was just one of those things. last time i ever go near her car tho!! lol | |

the cap on top of the rocker cover is the filler.if left off it will throw oil out. the yellow curd stuff is condensation in rocker cover and may block breather pipe's get head gasket checked at garage.check sump for damage. possable engine or gearbox mountain damaged making knocking sound | |

i fixed my mums rear lights on her 1989 escort 1.4, basic model. the fuses had blown, so i sorted that. bear in mind im pretty good with electrics and mechanics. anyhow, she used to work on a farm and there was these humps, and she hit one to fast and clonked the underneath of the car, and since then it has leaked oil all over the path outside and the drive sometimes. anyway while i was changing the fuses in the engine bay, i checked her oil. i checked the dipstick and it was fine. then there was a yellow cap , like more of a stopper on the main engine block on the bottom right hand corner. it just pulls out and pops in doesnt screw or clip or nothing. i pulled it out and peered inside, all i could see was like engine crud, no sign of any oil.anyhow popped the cap back in. when she came home i told her i fixed it and that i couldnt see no engine oil in the engine block. i also thought it was strange because it had stopped leaking oil all over the place. anyway i told her and she didnt seem to undertsand. |
