Oil leak back of engine
- Thread starter YORKSHIRE777
- Start date
One oil leak site on these engines, it has been said, is the plastic crankcase ventilation fitting, they can end up snapping off the small bore that enters the top of the engine and so oil escapes, is it possible that that has been running down the front of the engine?
Sorry, it sounds like I've offered you duff info based on me ignoring the "back" of the engine, I made the assumption that as your car was a 64 plate that it would be the older 8V chain driven engine, but if I'm now correct, your car has the newer 16V belt driven engine and so the turbo at the back of the engine.
Can you confirm it is the 16V engine please?
Chain driven 8V engine has the turbo at the front, ie nearest the bumper, belt driven 16V has the turbo at the back of the engine nearest the passenger cell/cabin.

@YORKSHIRE777 , any progress with find that valve and if so was that your problem?
Hi I've not looked yet as been working
Hopefully take a look tomorrow ?
Yes thanks you was 100% correct any ideas where I can source part in uk fairly quick ?
Does the rubber this pushes into come out ? As I can see the bit that's broke off still inside it
Good enough as it is a typical failure point.
Any Audi, SEAT, Skoda or VW dealership will sell you the parts, maybe get them to order in a new rubber grommet in case it becomes damaged when you try to remove the broken off stub from the PCV valve. I'd expect that there will be part numbers in one of the linked threads.
Edit:- do you think that you can find a length of strong enough wire, maybe steel wire and make a very short 90 degree bend in it and push that in through the hole in the stub and pull the broken part out, I've never had one of these engines so I'm just applying logic.
