2.0 D4D, Oil Everywhere

October 11, 2014

Hi fellows,

I have a Corolla Verso 2002 D4D 2.0L, 300.000 KM on the clock. I guess 1CD-FTV engine. Still going strong :) I just want to drive it some 100.000 more, that is all i am struggling for.

So the thing is i had opened the engine cover off month ago, -just wanted to take the egr valve to clean- and i was not happy with what i saw. there was oil all around under the cover, and i cleaned it to see if it will repeat. So i took the cover off again yesterday and it was same, there was oil all around. Not a bit at all. All the injectors and other places... Please see the pictures

The car works well, starts well, sounds well, runs well.... Only sometimes i see intensive white smoke from the tail pipe (exhaust pipe) and very rarely while accelerating from the 2nd and 3rd gear, i feel like a very small jump. Around 2400 RPM

And there is only very very little bit loose of oil.

What do you guys recommend ? I would like to clean this mess

Thanks

Hi you need to find out where the oil is coming I suggest you clean it and LEAVE the engine cover off,

Injector one is not connected one of the pictures.

I had some oil coming from the oil cap there is a gasket which can be re-newed but I tightened my car with pliers.

under the injectors- you can tighten the nuts with a 17mm spanner, or there are seals underneath that can be re-newed, I have attached pictures to show.
