Oil leak.....??

[Lil-slugger]

Got home the other day from conners day in huddersfield and where i always park i noticed a couple of big splobs of oil on the floor, so quickly got out of the car and looked underneath ( no undertray ) and the sump was piss wet thru, but not the sump plug.. Had another scout round and kinda looks like its coming from the oil filter.
(Gunna take front end off today and have a good scout around to make sure its not anywhere else.)

So i parked it somewhere else yesterday to see if it leaked.... Nope!! Only seems to be when its really hot and the oils really thin!! Does any one else have a similar issue??

is the filter seated properly? maybe worth checking. My old williams kept blowing filter seals off.

Possibly...
im contemplating just changing oil and filter while im at it anyway to tick it off the suspect list

I'd bet the filter's not on properly, they're a bit of a git to thread on at times.
