Corsa C engine oil leak find and fix + engine service.

The Corsa C has had a bad oil leak from when we bought it.
We find and fix the leaks and give it a service.
Most of the parts were bought from EuroCarParts.
I don't recommend this oil cap from eBay:- 293532045416
www.ebay.co.uk...
I should have just change the 'O' ring like we did on Chloe's Corsa D

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!

Thank you so much, Im a complete novice when it comes to car maintenance. I had a pool of oil on the driveway but only seemed to leak when the engine was running. Came across your video and thanks to you I diagnosed it as oil pressure switch leak. Got replacement from Amazon for £7 just fit it and oil leak stopped. Thanks once again for saving me an unnecessary, and costly, trip to the garage. Now if only you could show me how to clean the engine 😆😆😆😉

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, I'm glad it helped & awesome work getting it sorted 👌. If you really do want to clean it, use a good degreaser and keep the water away from the alternator, coil packs and air intake and don't rush it. Good luck 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍

Hi Steve, Just spotted your video and subscribed. Thanks for all the attention and detail in fixing the leaking oil issue on the rocker gasket. Nice to see a clean engine. My Vauxhall 2004 Meriva A is showing the same symptoms and was wondering roughly how much it would cost to fix, (not a car mechanic unfortunately). Love the video and keep up the excellent work! 😊

[@LarcsWorkshop]

I'm sorry, I really wouldn't have a clue how much a garage would charge to do it?

[@worldsvedios7846]

Clean and clear worked. Great video

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks very much 👍

I have a little more that milkcoffee and cams are slightly rusty i dont think thats normal, its leaking for sure coolant and yours too.

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Rust on the cams is definitely not normal, even my T5 which had water in the oil didn't have that. His was more condensation and old oil, he's using it every day with no issues now.

[@craiggardner367]

Another great video 👍🏽

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks 😃.
Cheers Larcs i

Amazing mate! Mine is leaking in the same spot. Do I need to drain the oil to do this though?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, no problems. You don't need to drain the oil to replace the pressure switch, but a little bit of oil will dribble out when you remove it.

I have the same car, unfortunately I noticed my windows got really foggy every day, and that's because I have found a hour ago lots of water to my driver seat where my feet set on the carpet, so basically is under the carpet , no ideea how and from where. Probably is from the rain because we had lots of rain lately

[@LarcsWorkshop]

We had the same issue and it was coming from above the pedals, it's a common issue on Corsa C's. I've done videos of how we repaired it, you'll find them on my channel. If I can I'll put in a link.
Cheers Larcs 👍

How can you tell that the timing belt has been changed?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

This engine has a timing chain, not a belt👍.
