Ford issued a hg repair supplement requiring the application of sealant at two spots on the hg to seal the joint and prevent this leak. An oil leak was found by mountune at my second service recently, oil leak from around the engine front cover The dealer (took me a while to find a knowledgeable, caring ford dealer) explained in specific detail the issue and the remedy They were also proud to say they had done over 30 rs head gaskets and their master tech's are all enthusiasts. For those interested who are aware of the oil leak the rs suffers on the headgasket in proximity to the timing chain cover (i have attached a pic of a typical leak) My engine builder has sorted a fix where he drills out one of the oil passages through the headgasket slightly wider than the passage on the block and head
He then fits a seal on the gasket and clamps (again, pic attached) Yesterday i decided to look further and saw this oil on the banjo bolt (i think oil line feeding the turbo?) and in one other spot After doing alot of research and seeing other people with the same issue, im 99% sure it's not leaking from the banjo bolt and these leaks are almost certainly from improper head gasket install from the recall. So i discovered an issue with my rs appearing to be leaking from a banjo bolt on the passenger side (us) and when i took it into my local dealership they said that it isn't an issue until you see a drip can someone on here explain this logic to me? I have an oil leak on my mk3 focus rs Right i have owned a rs mk3 17 plate at 36000 miles for last 1.5 years paid 26 k great car but how the hell dose it have an oil leak from apparently from the front end crank shaft seal with that amount of miles kinda of lived with it until recently it took out the auxiliary belt and had to nurse.
An oil leak can be a minor issue or a major problem that requires immediate attention Here is what you need to know about oil leaks in your focus Symptoms of an oil leak if you suspect that your focus is leaking oil, there are some telltale signs that you. Just got word from the dealer, my 2017 rs has another oil leak A year and a half ago, i had a leak at the top part of the motor, and today i found that i have leak at the front cover There is an older thread on this but i thought i would start a new one
How screwed am i here I am at 34,000 miles but the 5 years is coming fast Is it time to get an extended warranty, or should i be thinking.
