haha, Most of the MOT guys who do my cars have been dead on tbf!
tell me this, is an oil leak an MOT fail? I’ve not yet sorted the slight oil leak from this. It’s coming from the cam seals and only appears after about 15mins once the car is up to temp.
I can’t be arsed taking the front of the engine off to sort it because I intend to have it forged soon anyway and it will obviously be sorted then.
*edit - it’s not excessive. Just a slight drip once up to temp. It runs down from behind the front of the rocker, down the block and then down the sump cover....
It will only fail if it creates a pool 5cm in diameter in 5 minutes, if it’s not excessive then I wouldn’t worry about it, the tester may mention it to you but personally I wouldn’t be turning you down for it.
