Did I read somewhere here that the 850 T5 oil filler cap is prone to developing a leak?
Took my plug cover off today to fit NGK plugs (thanks Justin & Mopppy), and the small areas on top of cam covers have small pools of oil. Not litres of it, just plenty of small deposits lying around (mainly centre area).
Worth replacing cap me thinks???

Thanked 60 Times in 56 PostsSometimes, I feel like putting two seals on it to stop the minute spillage. Would it fit and can the cap seat properly after that ? The seal is not too thick BTW.
