Because it's been fitted incorrectly. I've spoken to a couple of garages about headgasket leaks, and it's fairly well known that these TU lumps tend to leak from the front left...

Yep i did do my homework on this place, they were strongly recommended by 3 very well respected garages in the area, the question i asked them all was "who would be best to go to for this?" rather than "would you recommend these guys?" all the places said the same and they even use this place for a majority of their work
It is common when the head gasket is wearing to start leaking from that same corner, but its still only a weap. With 2 new head gaskets now being fitted i cant see how it could possibly be a pour. Oil level has gone from the max line on the dip stick to the min line after between 5-10 minutes of running tops.
Nothing to update on today unfortunately, no call. Ill visit them again tomorrow if ive not heard anything.

I'll second that, seen probly over 15 leaking from that front corner, although not really that excessivly.
Good luck mate, if your willing to travel you can always bring it to my garage :P

Cheers for the offer, very much appreciated. I wouldt fancy towing the car for any great distance though. It struggles to get on most trailers |
