I have found a small patch of oil on my driveway it appears to be coming from the sump/gearbox area im not sure if this is common or what exactly it is but I dont like having oil leaks When I got the car (09/03), I had a disappearing oil problem. Not much went missing but it would slowly go. But after about 10,000 to 15,000km the problem went away and engine oil level stayed the same ever since. 92,000km on the clock so far.

JTXR6T Donating Members 64 Member For: 18y 2m 4d Gender: Male Posted 18/07/08 04:12 AM Share Posted 18/07/08 04:12 AM As a standard car they are not too bad... Rotors warp too easily, build quality issues eg windows. Once you start playing youll find alot more that goes wrong lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47703-common-xr6t-problems/#findComment-707256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
