Hi everyone,
We have the oil leak back, we thought it had stopped but now everytime we drive away there is a puddle of oil which runs onto the road from the sump cover (it must gather there whilst stood) then a streak for a few yards as we drive away.
We have it booked into our garage but not until next thursday.....
I'm sure it must be a problem with the fitting of the oil filter or oil plug in bottom of car as it only started doing it shortlt after they gave it an oil change.
normally oil leaks don't lose this amount do they??!

its definitely oil.... we decided to not use it until it has been into the garage next thurs which is about 6 miles away.(we will of course check the oil level before we travel there.

any-one had a similar problem?

thanks

Tanya

There was a batch of faulty filters a while ago - maybe you've got one of them.

My first suspicions would be a badly fitted or iffy filter or plug as you say, fingers crossed it's that simple
