coolfgxr6t Member 30 Member For: 11y 2m 28d Posted 27/11/14 06:39 AM Share Posted 27/11/14 06:39 AM I noticed a couple drops of oil on the ground yesterday. Had a look under and it appears to be coming from front of sump, oil filter area. Car got serviced only a month ago and oil leak wasn't picked up. Thought filter might have been loose so tightened it a bit but today there is another drop of oil. Car just ran out of warrenty last month. Any ideas?

coolfgxr6t Member 30 Member For: 11y 2m 28d Posted 27/11/14 06:58 AM Author Share Posted 27/11/14 06:58 AM Its a 2011 fg xr6t manual. Is there any common areas a 2011 would leak? Its just weird it has started so suddenly. Bit annoyed I thought I have finally bought a car new enough to not leak on driveway. I was wrong haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
