Oil Spray out Filler Cap with Engine running
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2021 3:24 am
Hi everyone,
Who has taken their oil filler cap off while the engine is running?
Took mine off this afternoon while engine was running and oil sprayed out in fine droplets with some velocity!
Now have to do an engine clean to for all the oil droplets that went everywhere including the underside of the bonnet...
I'm thinking injector copper washer seal failed?
I was doing the screw driver stethoscope trick on the injectors to hear for abnormalities and 3 and 4 definitely have a louder tapping/ticking sound to them.
This is on a 2.2
