hi - i am replacing plugs/coil pack and notice small oil leak....can you help identifying what is leaking oil? this is located right of cylinder 3 coil pack ??? p.s. what is located to the left of the same coil pack? thanks in advance. 2003 C4S
To be honest .. that's not really an oil leak .. basic sweating at best .. It's the seal on the high lift tappet solenoid that's causing it .. the down side is the solenoid cover will be corroded and as such just trying to fit a new seal over it may well damage it . For me .. its not a concern and i wouldn't worry about it in the slightest . Left is the variocam solenoid .
much appreciated deMort!! in that case i will ignore it and cross it off the to-do list for now.....if caused by corrosion, I guess at some point the solenoid will need replacing. thanks
