[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 622439, member: 20098"] Thanks for the reply - yes that is positioned as per Bentley (there is a photo in there) as I’ve not long fitted the alternator stand. Some of the oil you’re seeing is from when I poured it in, but either way, over time it seems there will always be a pool accumulate in both those spots as there’s nowhere else for it to go. I was going to cut some relief slots in the nut itself, but then realised that it was coming from the joint. To be fair, it’s not going to surprise me if this is just poor manufacturing - the breather hose outlet connection has also broken free from it’s crimped connection. I guess I’m just trying to salvage some hope of making this work after buying the filler, cap, gaskets, nut and fitting tool all to just have the thing piss oil everywhere [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
