Hi Sydor,

If your lucky the big oil leak could be the turbo return pipe but more often than not, its going to be the rear engine seal. You'll have to whip out the gearbox for that sucker.

The brake light bulb coming on could be just that. Check that the high level one is working and the sidelights work. If it was corroded terminals im pretty sure the bulb wouldn't work but im sure that's not a real big problem.

Sounds like you've got a handle on the Idle.

If your EML is just the MAF sensor, there are plenty about on Evil bay and theyre not too expensive if you wanted to buy new.

Apart from the leak, it all sounds pretty simple. Good luck chum and keep us informed,


...Guy
