Tynesider1 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi All I have a 2014 Focus Zetec 1.6 diesel with just under 20 .000 miles on the clock, for the past month I have been getting oil out of the oil fill cap or the oil dip stick. A visit to our local Ford garage said they have had issues with the oil filler cap possibly due to back pressure so I bought a new one. However this has not cured the problem and oil is still splashing out over the engine and it is definitely coming out of either the filler cap or dip stick, note the dip stick comes out a little even after I have ensured it is pushed in hard. Any suggestions to whats causing the problem or better a cure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizza11 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Check that your crankcase breather pipes and system are not bunged up If not but not sure myself but may be piston blow by( worn piston rings) but at 20000 miles unlikely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
