Thank you for a great show i must have seen 400 hours.
I have a european car with a
TOYOTA 3 cylinder non aspiranted engine. And a manual gearbox. This engine perhaps the most reliable engine type in Europe.
But mine...
60.000 miles done and it started dripping engine oil.
The seal behind the clutch (camshaft seal?) and the plate it is mounted to has been changed 4-5 times. The last year. The clutch were done the first time.
But after a while it returns.
I don't know who is most annoyed me or the garage fixing my var for free 3-4 times.
PCV vale works, enigne oil done every 6000 miles. Allways quality oil. Sometimes the oil lid has a great amount of Mayo.
No problem with other fluids. Drinks only a little bit of oil.
Could there be Pressure in the enigne?
4-5 times the transmission gas been of because of the leak returning. I have only paid for the initial repair. At the moment not leaking but only done 1500 miles since last repair.
The PCV valve works like a charm - oils done every 6000 miles. Quality oil meets specs.
It has a tendency for mayonnaise in oil cap. Uses non other fluids except a bit of oil.
The transmission seems to be worsening as well. Almost impossible when cold ok after 3 miles of driving. Any thoughts?
I would consider buying another car but the marked is mad. So i would like my car to be fixed.

Mayonnaise in the oil fill cap means you are not working the engine hard enough to get the condensate out of the engine. It's mixing with the oil. Do an Italian tuneup at least once a month. How do you know the PCV valve works? How old is it? What year is this car, you never told us? There is no such thing as a non aspirated ICE.
It does get long trips and reved often. Not only for the car but also for me.
It a 2016 1.0 citybug (the car PSA and Toyota did build together on the same factory as a joint venture -a brilliant little runabout)
In this case it is a Citroen c1 2016
