Oil will leak out of this from new. This would be my bet on whats happened. Bad luck though on ya new car, hope its back in good condition soon!

All fixed, all cleaned, all good. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48747-sprung-an-oil-leak-already/#findComment-720383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
