Hi All, Just been attempting to find some sources on fixing oil leaks in the spark plug wells in my GTI 138. How does one do it? Are there O-rings, or is it replacing the metal shaft which is required?

I can't remember what the 206 coil pack looked like now ... I think I only removed it once to swap (I change plugs at the same time!) .. but our Alfa had rubber sleeves over the metal shrouds. If you are getting oil in the plug wells then the cam/rocker cover gasket probably needs replacing.

More than likely coming from the rocker covers.

We had the same problem with our 180 and as above it was the rocker cover gasket off with the cover and you could see the areas it was leaking from with ease new casket fitted never did it again. Very Happy
