Re: Oil stain under the car!

Are those standard hydralic washers?

You can buy those rubber lined washers in good car motor factors. They are used in all sorts of industries, aircraft, motor racing, oil industry, etc
If you are having trouble sealing a banjo fitting, as long as the threads holding the bolt is good and the surfaces not too damaged, then either a plain copper washer or one of the rubber lined ones will work equally well.

New and shiny oil pipe.

Now, I don't actually think that is the problem. The used upper breather pipe valve was broken again. Judging from the oil spill it was working for 2 days.
I will order at least 2 on Monday.

This continues to haunt me!
Now again there is stains under the car after parking. This time the oil pipe is dry but the turbo is soaked.

I will try to tighten the TIK.
If it was the oil pipe connection there would be some oil on that pipe as well!

Edit: It looks like it is just the TIK leaking The clip was broken, or broke as soon as I started tightening it.
