has anyone had this before?
ive got a vts and took it out yesterday for a blast along the country roads. also went to get a new manifold from gabbastard (cheers m8) and when i got home looked at the engine oil was leaking from oil cap.
thinking only way it would do this would be if there was too much pressure in the casing but its just a standard vts with a back box and prev owner said it had remap so possible remap or chip or some sort,and has an induction kit,
any of use had this problem before ??

Iv heard the seals on the caps can go sometimes, so just get a new cap and then see what happens mate:y:

Exactly...

I had to buy a new one. Mine leaked all the time, especially if you gave the car some stick.

Have a look at the underside of the cap, If the seal is deeper set than the plastic rim of the cap or if you can see any bits missing (mine had a little hole in it) then its probably goosed,

new cap time!
