Default Good scooby mechanic in Cardiff

Hello people I am new on here . My problem is I brought a 1992 closed deck wrx today from London and when I got back to Cardiff I noticed an oil leak . Seams to be coming from top of engine . It's sprayed the right side of engine bay . But my oil level is the same as I checked before I left . It wasn't leaking before I left London . I need a good scooby mechanic in Cardiff . Please help I need it done ASAP as need car for work . Thanks

Dean at Three Arches is your man. He used to work at CVC and knows a Subaru inside out.

Not sure on mechanics in your area but do you have a dump valve and fmic fitted?
The reason I ask is I had dump valve and fmic fitted on a previous car and i noticed a spray of oil on the right side of the engine bay under the windscreen which I worked out was coming from the dump valve.
I think small amounts of oil can get in to the intercooler pipework over time.

Three Arches come highly recommended by all your Welsh chaps, I don't know where they are in relation to Cardiff but if I lived out that way that's where I'd go.
