just noticed my 1.3 sierra has a bit of an oil leak it appears to be coming from up behind my extractors just wondering where exactly this could be coming from and if there is any inherant problems with the g13ba series of motors

when u say "behind extractors" do you mean below? if so, then could be the rocker cover gasket, but could also be coming from the head gasket. is there any oil on higher than the extractors? (between the rocker cover and the exhaust) if i was you i would start at the top then work ur way down. thats what im doing, i have oil in the same place. i replaces that rocker gasket which has stopped oil "above" the exhaust.

hope this helps

there is no oil above the extractors,there is a slight weep of oil near the angle drive at the dizzy but there is no way the oil could be from there i am just hoping it s not the head gaskett or something major , but there is no water in the oil which i thought was the first sign or a blown head gaskett i had the extractors and exhaust fitted about 6 weeks ago and only driven about 200km s since it was done so i would of thought if there was any thing suss looking the exhaust shop would of said something

I would start by degreasing as much as you can then run for a while and re-inspect. The head gasket can leak oil without being 'blown'. And even when they do blow they don't always mix oil and water.
