Very slight leak but frustrating!
Its on the block around one of the plug holes. Could be from the dizzy shaft, oil filler cap, back plate gasket or plug hole.
I get a slight film of oil around this area after I've been driving hard for a while. Nothing significant and I only top up my oil a little every few months.
I will replace the o-ring on the dizzy to eliminate that possibility. Just hope its not a plug hole or the gasket between the block and back plate. _________________ S2 33 1988 1.7 QV

also if it was the plug I imagine the plug hole would fill up with oil first before leaking onto the block.
It must be seeping from the back plate gasket or dizzy o-ring. _________________ S2 33 1988 1.7 QV

Spent 5 quid on dizzy orings and haven't noticed any further oil seepage!! Not fitted yet!!
Typical!
All dry after the last 200kms.
Fixed itself apparently _________________ S2 33 1988 1.7 QV
