#1: 206 1.4 8v Oil leak Author: conker1221, Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2015 7:26 am ---- Literally just had my head gasket replaced. It was tested and skimmed etc the job lot. Once I got it home I looked under the bonnet for the little patch of oil cambelt side and it was all nice and clean.
Now two days later the oil patch has returned, car hardly been driven and I have no idea what to think.
Anybody had a similar experience?

Clean it up if you can and keep an eye to see if it comes back.
If it persists take it back to the garage and have them fix it.

The car is driving like new since it's been done, be suprised if it's the brand new Gasket again. I don't see where the oil can come from other than the gasket in that area though.
I'll try and clean it up and see how it goes for a week or two, got three months guarantee so if it persists i'll take it back.

#8: Re: 206 1.4 8v Oil leak Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Tue Jan 27, 2015 5:25 pm ---- As above, a cam seal should have been done if they skimmed the head as the cam is removed when skimme
#9: Re: 206 1.4 8v Oil leak Author: conker1221, Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 10:22 am ---- Just a update on this guys, car went back in to the garage, they could not find anything significant.
They retorque the head and resealed the rocker gasket, gave it a little run about (5 miles) and it was still clean. Unfortunately just checked today after giving it a few days and it's still leaking a small amount of oil.
Obviously it's going to have to go in again, but has anybody got any suggestions? Cam seal has been checked and is fine.

The seals themselves were penny's really but it cost me 360 all in for a clutch, cambelt kit, seals changed, new cv boots and a good service

Good price that mate.
This leak is really starting to do my head in, I fear it's getting to the point where i'm just going to have to live with it.
