After dinner i went check the 2 rods witch are on each side of the engine block.
And there i found the problem.
There are 2 supporting parts witch are each bolted with 2 bolts.
Bolts were lose !
After mounting the whole i made a test drive and problem solved.
Problem I made myself by not fastening bolts during mounting sump. 
John thanks for responce and a Good and Healthy 2015 for you and your family ! |
I had the same problem with my green E83W, one rod mounting bracket (on the E83W they are situated either side of the gearbox casing, not the engine) had snapped off, causing the problems you describe.
Glad to hear you got it fixed.

The car always will spill some oil..
Thats because it is old.
But the spill got bigger.
And i thougt to find cause which was the round seal from sump
I replaced it now.
Spill is still to much.
Wat can cause the spill and how can i solve it ?

I have tried many options to slow the leak from this seal. I even tried a system where it was replaced with a modern 'edge' seal, but wriggling it over the crank end, and then replacing the timing cover and sump was problematic itself, so back to the string seal.
My main leaks were caused by poor fitting of the string seal, (yes my fault). The seal must be entirely held within the recesses in the timing cover and sump, if there is an overlap, the seal will protrude from the recesses, and effectively deform the sump shape and allow a leak. With the sump bolts being away from the seal recesses, and a heavy reliance on the reinforcing plate behind the bolts, it is easy to tighten the bolts with the seal protruding holding the sump from the base of the crankcase, and allowing a leak.
Best of luck.
