Ive just been on lunch at work and found my passenger wheel arch is soaked in black oil, the front of the sideskirt is dripping oil?, all along to the sideskirt passenger side i can see oil underneith and also a little on the rear passenger tyre?The front tyre doesnt seem to be saturated at all

I have just changed my oil 1 week ago and very little mileage, its still nice and golden not black like this stuff.And its still at level

I can see a little oil leak undernieth the car, this is down to leaky rocker on drivers side. Where else could this oil be coming from if indeeed its myn at all > possibly picked up off the road?

 

Have you checked the levels bud,

 

of course lol.

Was wondering if any pipe work behind the arch i cant see of near there that would spray oil over the wheel if it holed

 

incedentally at idle there is nothing sparaying out of anywhere, its completly baffled me. Must have picke it up off the road somewhere

 

i think its the shocker will have a look soon, does it stink shocker oil like tranny oil

 

Has the CV joint boot split? The grease used is black!

JohnD

 

ive solved the puzzle now, by having a quick look at entrance to work , huge puddle of oil

must have drove thorugh it.

 

lol. Bet you are pleased with that!

 

Yeah, I bet your heart was trying to jump out your mouth.... until you found out the reason?!

Phew, eh?...

 

i was really thinking where this thick black horrible oil coming from as myn is nice and clean

But yeah thew, doing the rocker covers this weekend, sick of the smell of burning oil on the manifolds
