I’ve had 2 gaskets go and 1 pump fail. When the pump failed oil was around the pump spindle, with gaskets the oil was below the pump and gasket 2.4TDCI 90 - everyday brilliance

The gaskets leak if you overtighten the securing bolts. For once it is worth (a) using a genuine Ford gasket, and (b) using a teeny-weeny torque wrench.

I had oil film regularly around the inlet manifold, hp fuel pump etc. And it turned out to be the vacuum pump. As the viscous fan for the rad has quite a bit of power is spreads the leak into a fine mist on surrounding parts and pipes making it awkward to spot the cause. The gasket is a significant almost sandwich plate with rubber seal inset. Definitely worth paying up a bit for a decent one. 2010 2.4 TDCI Puma Defender 90

Thanks all, this should be getting sorted in the next few weeks. Car has been idle, as I've been away. I did take it out today and it seems to create the same level of 'mess' and not gotten worse.
Having said that, I was moving the car out today, after it sitting for quite a few weeks I'd taken it for a run and halfway through a motorway run it has flicked on the engine management light. Car runs fine (pulls well and without the light, you'd not know anything was up) , but wondering if that vac pump could cause the dash light to come on / stay on? |
