Oil leak

poppyjay

Hope everyones having a good bank holiday x
I had my car service afew weeks ago just checked the oil levels and it's empty I've filled it but can't get under to see where it's leaking from and the grange which did it shut till tomorrow .
Do you think they have not done something up tightly enough and will it be ok to run?
Thank you

Any oil showing on the floor where you park? Have a look under the bonnet at the undertray see if there is any oil on it.

poppyjay

Some oil on the underneath but it has a panel underneath so can't really see where it's coming from same when you look under the bonnet. X

mcjordi

poppyjay

That's really kind of you thank you my neighbours just having a quick look at it .

Not being funny, but you have checked correctly?

Some people pull out the dipstick and panick because it's right at the bottom, then totally over fill causing massive damage.

Positioned on a level surface, it should not be above the little dot (maximum).
