have you checked the oil pressure switch itself? mine went and caused such a leak. if there is only a small crack in the plastic of the switch, it will only put out oil under pressure, dont forget that even a small amount of oil can seem like quite a leak once the oil has tracked and spread. Mike |

I have one to, going in 4 repare next weekend, mine is between the gear box and the engine, I have a Pinin tho so don't know where yours might be. Sorry, the best thing to do is take it to a garage to get reapaired, the garage will be able to tell, even if you could find out where it is coming from, what would you be able to do yourself, It might be best to wash underneath of the car get all most of the oil off, then in an our or so have a look when a fresh bit of oil is, that is i you can get the car high enough so you can get underneath with out getting wet and mucky.

Does the 2.8 have the half moon rubbers in the cyl head? Mine was rock solid and leaking like a Texas pil field.  |

check the front diff seals as it might not be the engine that has the leak.  |

I guess the 2.8 has a similar configuration but 2.5 has an oil line that runs behind the head to the turbo. Mine had cracked but luckily we caught it before it broke - loads of oil though  General note on Paj oil leaks ... The bash plates make leaks difficult to track down so remove them for a while, put some marks on the drive and park in exactly the same place for a few nights. Rocker cover and half moon seals are usual culprits if leak deposits oil on cylinder head. Check around the back of the head with torch and inspection mirror. Pay particular attention to turbo oil feed pipe (as above). Most leaks gravitate to the bell housing and its worth checking inside this. There is a small cover to inspect the starter ring gear that you can use for this. If oil is present in here its very likely to from the rear crankshaft oil seal. Hth |
