Why is it a common problem for the engine to piss oil out of every hole? | |

Its common as feck for them to leak. Im only using 15W 40 Valvoline ATM as a flush-oil, after 1K miles its comming out and some posh 5w 40 fully sinthetic going in. My Valvoline cost me £6 for 5 litres from ASDA of all places. Never thought i'd be sticking oil from a SUPERMARKET in my engine!! | |

over 2 weeks i have a thimble full on the garage floor so dnt bother, my rocker cover gasket is leaking slightly, just get under the engine with some gunk and wash it all off then you will see soon after | |
