1.9 AWX two oil leaks?

Post by mattbarber »

Hi all,

54 plate Highline Saloon, 146k miles

I seem to have perhaps two separate oil leaks.

Where the oil pump joins the block, I can see a tiny repetitive bubble coming out through the gasket where it angles downwards towards the oily bolt - top right of picture - after I've switched the engine off. Should the whole gasket be proud like part of it is? Has something broken off?

I degreased what I could, but you can also see a wet patch that has formed on the block after only a few miles.

Is the oil pump gasket common and an easy job?
Also, where you can see the oil on the black paint, is that the head gasket leaking oil? It doesn't appear to be coming from the rocker cover gasket...
