Oil Pipe

[mk2escortmad]

Hi guys,

just a quickie but sorry no pic to help. i have a problem, when i start my 3.0 ghia mk3 up it leaks oil from a thin pipe, it is coming from the engine block and on the other end the last owner has tried to block it...is this the oil pressure pipe that goes to the back of the clocks or something else??

 

any help appreciated.

cheers

Soundss like it is the oil pipe mate. The best way to sort this would be to get an oil pressure gauge?

Gotta be a good idea anyway

my capri has a standard oil pressure guage that reads a big fat 0 so im putting 2 and 2 together and wondering if the pipe does infact go to the guage
