Until master clutch was replaced anew due to oil slippage on the clutch. I noticed that that there was low level of oil spew as described earlier by other members. Also the oil leak has minimized after replaceing the oil gasket, but not totally eliminated.
Do you think it's time for overhaul? Other than this, I don't have any problem and it drives with good speed. Where do I have the oil leak check? Hope you can recommend a good shop with affordable/honest service. I live in Cubao area. There were shops suggested by diesel owners but I doubt it's reliable as I've not seen their shop names here.
Please help.
Many thanks.
