I have a bit of an oil leak comming from right above the alternator. I just took a look at it myself, looks kinda tight up there so may require the engine to be pulled. Anywho, if anyone in the Hamilton region knows a lot about the KA’s give me a shout!

Lots of beer and pizza in it for you! what better way to spend the day? 😛

When do you plan on doing this? I know enough to help you out.

I have an engine hoist if you need one aswell.

I plan on doing it ASAP, like maybe this weekend during the day. As of now its sitting in the garage waiting to be fixed. First I wanna get that alternator off so we can get in there and see what the hells going on, see if its fixable without pulling the engine.
