1979 Citroen C2 Two Wheel Drive Manual 15733 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Guys,

Thanks for you help on those transmissions a little while back, you guys are great.

I'm having a bit of trouble with this Citroen 2CV. Its a 1979 2CV.

The car is leaking oil from the push-rod tube seals.. the seals need to be replaced in order for the leaks to stop. My questions is... can they be replaced without removing the cylinder head?

Also, if you know of any good Citroen part suppliers ... or anywhere these seals / pushrods / other parts for this Citroen be bought -- that would be of great help![img:b198e98c13]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/112161_26citroen2cv_1.jpg[/img:b198e98c13]
