Hi, was wondering if anyone can help me, I'm looking for a gasket as I have a slight oil leak down onto my starter motor.

Thanks in advance.

Hi that's your anti shudder valve / throttle body.
You'll find it's not oil your seeing it is the gunk caused by the egr valve recirculating the exhaust fumes to reduce emissions.
Best thing to do is take it off there are 3 torx screws that hold it in place. The gasket is a rubber ring washer built in to the back of valve. Give it a good clean with carb cleaner or egr cleaner and refit.
Also give the internal housing a good clean too.
It's the curse of the egr system. Try and clean it a couple of times a year and it should not happen again.

Hope this is of some help to you?

Cheers

Brian

I think Simmy means don't overtighten the jubilee clip on the front holding the air pipe, as this can misshape the housing causing the flap inside to stick? Torx screws need to be tightened securely and evenly. Maybe even put a little threadlock on for a bit of added security. Just use the carb/egr cleaner to clean off the gunk that has run down block.

Cheers
