Oil Leak

Post by Simple Simon » Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:55 am

Just running through the pre MOT change oil, pads etc. I have discovered a significant oil leak from the block area on the drivers side at the front of the engine. There appears to be a circle of something there but the leak seems to be above it. Difficult to see as lots of fuel gubbins that side. Any ideas?

In the beginning there was nothing , then God said "Let there be Light".....There was still nothing , but ,by crikey, you could see it better.
