I’ve got a oil leak somewhere so just wondering what are most likely seal sources. May as well strip it and do as many seals as possible.

I’m thinking the likely culprit is oil filter housing and valve cover seal, what others are worth changing?

Thanks

If it's a 1.9 most likely is the oil filter housing. Rocker cover worth checking too.

On mine it was the oil filter housing gasket and the 2 O-rings. Cheap kits and a couple of hours work. All nut & bolt stuff. I found it easier to totally remove the big mounting block in front of it. Some of the videos suggest just leaning it forward. Couple of good youtube videos on it. Certainly cured mine. It was so bad on mine the oil literally dripped at tickover and was all the way along the underside of the car!! Great to keep rust at bay!
