Oil goes through cap located on green engine block, radiator is the cap infront of it as radiator is at the front of the car to maximise cooling air as it enters through grille.
How am I doing????? |

No idea. But in my books unless its a temporary, get you home repair - that's called a bodge up to me and it should be replaced not repaired. |

Hi
1 place which can leak is the under the washers where the rocker box bolts are, The big hexagons on top of the box particulary the one next to the Morris badge because that is at the dirtier end on those piccies.
Another thing to check is the pipe from the top of the rocker box into the aircleaner, that is a breather pipe which should allow excess pressure and any oil fumes into the inlet system to get burnt instead fo dripping oil, but if it is blockedat all this will increase pressure inside the block and increase the likelyhood of causing leaks at weak seals. |
