Hiya,
After I finished cleaning my engine bay I went out for a spin and when I came back I notice oil building up and leaking from the area in the pic. What need replacing to stop it?

you might even get away with cleaning the old one and sticking back on ,these ones are made of plastic sort of material rather than feckin paper.

use a quality 8mm socket on those nuts though ,the shear quite easily Wink

yep, easy swap.

old one off, new one on.

bits might get stuck tho, so get rid of them before you put new one on.
