Hi lizbeth61,

Thank you for the donation.

If the oil leaks stopped after the replacement of the parts concerned and starts to leak again after 4 months, the leaks could be related to those areas.

Without a vusual inspection it would not be possible to identify the source. You would need to get it checked to understand where the leaking is coming from.
