SERVICE INSTRUCTION

NOTES:

Slight surface oil dampness without drops are acceptable and should not be repaired as a leak

Be aware that fluid leaks from above any component may cause oil to collect on the engine and
transmission undershield i.e. engine leaks, oil cooler pipe leaks, fuel leaks, coolant leaks

Fixing the incorrect leak does not satisfy the customer

1. Remove any undershield or engine covers to gain access to the suspected leak area (REFER to: Workshop
Manual Section 501-02)

2. Using a suitable degreaser, thoroughly degrease the suspected component all the way around as well as,
approximately, 25-50mm (1-2 inches) above the suspected leak
