hello all
i got my STI7 10 days ago done about 850 Km on the clock tonight after i came back i left the car idle for about 3 minutes and switched off, less than an hour i went out again and i saw oil leak on the ground what could it be ? i will check with the dealer but any info is very appreciated. thank you all in advance regards. |
Stupid question but is the dipstick in correctly and not slightly out?
If its not that then back to the dealer who should find the problem for you :D Tony:D |
Could be the condensate from the AirCon
Are you sure it was oil ? |
yeh .. the dipstick was in correctly tony .. sorry if you see the qustion is stupid tony but i am really worried ... as you could see that was my first post i registered may be in july and i checked the BBS daily to get all the information i can.
russell yeh its oil .. very thin oil .. checking all previous threads about running in i know the engine oil is thin but i just cant think how or where from the leak is .. |
My first suspicion is the sump plug. Have a look to see if the bottom of the sump is oily. You'll have to remove the sump guard.

I don't know about the oil, but you don't have to let your car idle that long...it will overheat, and spill oil all over the place!
Seriously, if your car isn't driven in yet, you couldn't (shouldn't) have driven it hard enough to warrant idling it for so long...Except if you came straight from a blast on the highway, anything longer than 30 seconds can be considered highly anal. |
