Afternoon all,

Have a suspected oil leak, dont think it is bad but wanted to see if anyone has any ideas.

 

Few pictures of underneath of the car, there are some patches (can see in picture) on the ground seem to be two the are lower left, one slightly higher to the right. The patches are getting slowly bigger but it seems to be a slow leak so hoping its a seal somewhere.

 

Getting it to a garage or getting someone to look at it will be challenging in the current climate so hoping she will ride the storm 🙂

 

As an update, garage had a good look round today, had car running for a bit and no sign of leak, however, the garage think when the garage that I bought car from did the services they did not empty the oil properly and the old oil has been held in the under tray, when parking on my sloped drive it comes out.  Oil colour in tray looks old to that in the engine and apparently there was lots of oil in the undertray. 

Not seen any signs of leak from monitoring dip stick either so hoping all good.

Anyway all cleaned up, will try clean oil off driveway and monitor, hopefully will see no more.

 

 

 

Good to see it's nothing serious, i got a surprise when looking for the Oil filter to find it facing me just under the plastic engine cover.

Just an update, had a second leak, sump tray also had a little leak, been changed now and no more of the black stuff coming out
