Default Re: Odd oil leak

Good afternoon,

Well we checked and the garage changed the filter and assembly ( hoping that it would go away- it didn't) , to be fair they added a dye, and miniscule amounts showed up.. now here's the question..

Should we have them effect a repair - it will mean stripping the head down and rebuilding. My worry is that these precision ally heads and casings are very susceptable to over torqueing, not too mention the care needed to resit everything, will we end up with a repaired engine that is nothing like the current?

How bad could this pin hole become?

I've experienced an annnoying recurrent leak on the SRT - which took for ever to resolve.
