Azas Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hi, everyone. Had my full servicing done few days ago and today I found a big colorful fluid stain on my drive. From that picture could you verify that it is oil or it could be any other fluid? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPAWS Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 i would say oil m8 but could be wrong i`m only saying it as i had a leak after my car was serviced took it back garage they sorted it out for me, turned out the washer to the sump was not seated correctly.

Azas Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 I will give my garage a call first thing in the morning, I hope it is something simple and easily fixable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azas Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I rang them and they booked me in for Thursday, but then I had a closer look and the fluid is clear/ yellowish so it could be brake fluid. Rang them back and they going to look at it tomorrow morning. Don't want to be driving around in a car with leaking brake fluid... I'll keep you all informed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Could it be that they have spill some in the engine bay and its still dripping... Fingers crossed ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azas Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Quick update, the leak has been sorted. Apparently it was leaking oil, and the reason was that the nut had wrong washer fitted so it developed a slow leak. New nut with washer installed and hopefully no more leaks.
