SimonT Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I wondered if anyone can help me as i have a slight oil leak coming from the area near where the oil dipstick and oil filter are but its not coming from them! I was just wondering if there is a common fault with any of the gaskets or O-rings or any kind of seal around that area or if anyone actually knows where this oil could be coming from?? Its not alot at all but any amount that leaks is too much for me!! Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Has the sump or oil pan ever been changed as its not the easiest job in the world to get a good seal when its been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I got a leak in the same area, going to get under it tonight and have a look. Could putting too much oil in cause leakage as I believe the previous owner may have put too much in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Oil pressure switch is a possibility in that area................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
