Hello there

I just discovered a small oil leak.
All i know is it is dripping very mildly under the car..

Where should I start to look ?

Any / tips advice / trouble shooting?

Thanks in advance
Jon

clean all the oil off (use jizer or similar degreaser) and then take it for a short run. then just look for the oily bit. sump plug and oil filter are common places for it to leak. also worth checking it's not just oil that has been spilled when topping up the engine

thanks :) you'd almost think i did this for a living or something

let us know how you get on. or, leave it and just claim that your car has een fitted with ARPS™, which is my patent pending automatic rust prevention system
