Slight oil leak.

Hi all, noticed a little bit of oil on the top of the sump guard the other day and wondered if anybody had any ideas or experience of where it’s coming from? It all looks dry on the back of the engine as far as I can see,


Thanks Lee.

I had a bit of an oil sweat in that area which I put down to the rear main seal leaking. I eventually solved it by replacing the engine due to an unrelated issue.

To narrow it down, clean the area thoroughly with brake cleaner, then check it out after a short drive. Should give a better indication of where it's coming from.

Thanks for that, it’s just a weep, I thought it’s probably something that requires a lot of work to sort out, I’ll keep an eye on it.
