Was good meeting up with you. Wheels looked ever better than I thought they would Ben. Great car!!! Shame I didn't get to see it better due to the sh*tty weather...

[Benn]

Deffo, have to again for more parts soon.. Glad you liked the finish wheel job. Wouldn't of been sorted with out you. Hopping next time we meet it's in the warm sunny air.

Start of an update. Haven't used the car in a week. Pulled it out of the garage to find this much oil under the car...



Now It's leaked since i built it annoyingly. Thought it was the sump. But now think it's the oil pump to block seal. Which only seems to be getting worse, as i'ev now needed to top the oil up. Something i've not had to do before.

Car out side...



Think she's scared about what happening...



Front coming apart...



Nice collection building up behind the ic..



Car back in garage and jacked up. IC and rad out.



Start stripping. Now while doing the pump gasket, i'm also changing the turbo. As i have a low mile rebuild hybrid unit ready to fit too.





Made this after seeing Gareth at WCC using one.. Very handy when the rads in..



This are a **** to get out...



Remember kids, set jubliee clips up so you can still undo them when under the car/every things in the car.

Turbo off.



This is the breather that goes to the turbo inlet, which has water in it, is this normal from condensation?



Which means i get a build up here in the re-circe(sp?)



Surely not a good thing....?

Now the exhaust side looks ok... No oil or anything, Which i thought there would be as i get smoke on idle..



Turbo outlet.. A bit oily but not to bad... For the amount of oil i get in the pipes...



Hhhmm something been in there?



Damage on the impellers..



But it drove fine, made boost fine...

Exhaust side, all clean, just whiteish soot.





Left it there, ready to strip the pump off....

Oh dear! Did you find the source of the oil lake finally?

[Benn]

Deffo think its the pump to block join. As it is very wet above the line of the sump.
