Hello any help would be great,

My C34 is currently leaking oil from near the oil filter, I'm 99% sure its not the oil filter because when i grab it with clean hands the filter and the filter block are clean. It looks like its coming from the part in the pics iv attached it might be the factory oil cooler? not to sure just wondering if anyone knows of a common leak that can develop in this area? I cant get a good look in there and I have big hands LOL, also its leaking a fair bit of oil so I need it fixed asap.

thanks guys

Rhet

That's an iunisual place for an oli leak, the cooler is a bolt on arrangement and unles you have removed it there sholud be no problem, how much oil are you loosing it might be coming from above, cam covers are prone to coming loose, try tightening the covers maybe.

I have a remote oil filter in which I have oil temp and oil pressure sensors for dash mounted gauges. I run single din and gauges fill space.it is cool and practical.No leaks.

It is loosing a bit, a little 10cm puddle when I park over night. It has never been removed as far as I know. I did look to see if it was coming from higher and didn't see anything but I'll have a proper look tomorrow again.

Hello again fine sirs! after repairing the first oil leak i have found another, oil is seeping from the very front of the sensor to the left/below the oil filter. Right from the front just behind the screw that holds the tab/electrode thing for the sensor wiring. Now is this the oil pressure sensor? i'm thinking it may be best to replace the whole thing? any advice?

cheers guys, this is really starting to shit me!

Agreed with Dale. Hey Rhet, does your oil light on your dash work? I was wondering from viewing the first pic why it was disconnected. That brown plug flappin' in the wind in the pics should most likely be connected to it..........

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
