Under Shield 1.9 Tdi And Oil Leak

[deadpool2e]

Hi,

 

I have a oil leak at the front right hand side of the car (if you stand looking at it) It looks like it is under the rad.

 

Question

 

1) What tools do i need to take the uner sheild off and any tips for doing this.

 

2) Any idea what the leak could be from?

 

Cheers

A 10 mm socket and an extention bar should do the trick ,later bolts were 14 mm so might be any of the two . The 10 mm bolts are a bit small and can round off very easily ,if this happens try an old 3/8 socked tapped on to the offending bolt and GENTLY try and unbolt it . Leak might be from oil cooler?

Is the oil cooler easy to change ?? and is it costly? cheers

The undertray can be a wee bit heavy ( depending on how much oil it has soaked up :lol:

 

From what i can remember when i took mine off, two of the bolts were a pain in the tailgate to get off, these were the ones set high up at the front of the bloomin thing

inter cooler/hose leaking oil? blow past oil spray from the engine breather system gathering at the lowest point and finding its way past the clip?
