Valve Stem Oil Seals

[lucas_lfc 0]

Hi, im just wondering does anyone know where you can get these online, as my local motor factors dont do them

 

the car is burning oil

 

also if the car was leaking a little oil, what would be the cause of this?

 

cheers

an engine place is probably your best bet for getting them seperately, although that said i'm sure I got a set from my local factors (but i have a feeling they just got them from an engine restorers and whacked a markup on them)

 

have a look here

as for leaking oil, they would only leak oil into the cylinders and be burnt (visible by blue smoke) they wont leak oil externally. If you've got oil on the floor under the car its coming from somewhere else
