Slight oil weep...
03. Apr 2011 at 14:30  
Have noticed over the last few weeks a slight bit of oil on bottom lip of the sump. This looking down in front of engine far left, bascially under the alternator somewhere. I have checked cam cover all round, it is all as dry as a bone and no traces of any oil. Is there anything at the side or further down from the alternator that can weep (Its only a smear of oil every week or so)?

I had same problem on mine and it turned out to be one of the cam seals, Elite Pete changed them when he put the 3 ltr cams in and not lost a drop since.
Mine has done a fair mileage though and I dont think the seals are a common problem but maybe worth checking. Your oil pressure switch is down in that area as well Thumbs Up!

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it
