Hello
So i bought my 197 back in January right away I noticed a really small trace of oil dripping in the intake manifold’s bay area (likely a rocker cover leak)
Anyway I didn’t think much of it 3 months later I started noticing a lot of oil consumption but no smoke no nothing so it had to be leaking i looked around the engine again and found big oil traces all around the engine starting from the timing belt cover and going down also a déphaseur solenoid seal leak and a dephaseur pulley noise so it had to be replaced
Anyway not too long ago i took it to
renault to replace :
-Déphaseur pulley
-All the seals timing belt side (except crankshaft seal idk why the didnt replace it tbh)
-Timing belt ( cause it was covered in oil )
-And re sealing the rocker cover so on ….
Anyway the said the leak is most likely from one of the seals of a bad rocker cover seal so after doing all of that today almost a month later all the leaks came back in the same way its starting and it lost about 0.5l of oil within 3000km or so of really calm driving i got on it a couple of times but mostly commuting
Anyway what do y’all think about all of that?
Im taking it to Renault tomorrow the work is still under warranty hopefully they assume the work
I just hope its not a head gasket
Thank you all
(Ps : i dont have any good pics of the leak and sorry if the post is long i like to detail
)
