oil leaks kv6

genpk · 22nd February 2017, 23:03

Sure its been covered before, trying to locate a slight oil drip which seems to be at the bottom of the engine where it looks like there is a gasket on a bell housing.
All the top part of the motor clean and around the oil filter is clean as well so its appears to be coming from the gasket I think.
Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and if so,what can be done to stop the slow drip.
Suppose you could put an sealer additive in the oil but that will swell all the seals in the motor so not sure the effect of that ?
