Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / March 2005Oil everywhere........!!!!!!!!pug 106
Hi guys id appreciate it if anyone could help...... I changed my air filter from the standard air box to a pipercoss filter about a year ago now.......noproblems wat so ever...... wanting to up grade i bought a BMC CDA air box......only differnce being slightly bigger with an attached air intake..... fitting the new filter.... i was unable to connect the (oil breather pipe) to the smaller filter supplied....... being told that leaving this off for a few days before i got a new conecter would be fine i drove my car...... after about 4 miles oil was leaking all over the place...... although no oil around the breather pipe....... ttthe oil seems to be coming from the right hand side of the engine.......could this be a coninsidence that its started to leak or because i never atteched the breather pipe!? ....... putting the old air filter back on i stil get oil.....anyone heard of this pronblem..... be grateful if someone could shed some light.... cheers Dan > Hi guys id appreciate it if anyone could help...... > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > be grateful if someone could shed some light.... I have no idea how the oil pressure is measured on a 106 but "in the old days" on every car there was a pressure switch screwed into the engine block and, when that started to leak, this was the exact effect.

It's just letting the pressure/oil vapour out into the atmosphere (or the underside of your bonnet...) rather than burning it in the engine. As Keith mentioned it could be the oil sensor or something has come loose or a seal has perished coincidentally. I'd clean up the engine then run it for a few minutes with the covers off and see if you can spot where it's coming from. My 206 is always leaking from around the cam cover seal, might be worth checking if you dont know where to start (cos it's cheap and easy :-) ). Andy |
