right well after i treated my car to a new oil flush it has started pissin oil out of the rear main crank seal 'gear box end' which i have already replaced about 3 weeks ago along with every other seal gasket you can think of. so my asumption is the rings are gone and putting to much pressure in the block so some thinker oil or some oil leak treatment might be in order until i source a 1.6 8v block and gearbox to recon depening how the compresstion test goes on tommorw plus striped a black dash and other panels and bits today so gona get all that in when i have a spare full day pics to follow.
