Broken already!

Found some small spots of oil on the drive, cleaned off the sump a few days ago and rechecked it tonight to find its still leaking but theres no visible cracks.
Problem is i need the car for work as my other one is having work done too!
Any advice on a temp solution until i get my other car back?

If it's only a little bit I really wouldn't worry. Just keep an eye on the level. Could be a lot of things but likely sump seal.

Buy some oil & keep it topped up?

As soon as I wipe it clean it starts to weep again its at the gearbox end of the sump where its leaking and lower down from the gasket. Im thinking it could have gone porous?

Could be the rear main seal behind the flywheel. Honestly don't worry about it too much. A clio without a leak is a rather rare find. Could also be the gearbox selector seal.

that's got a very small hairline crack for sure mate

Drain the oil out. Then you won't have a leak. It just keep an eye on it and see if much is actually coming out. A tiny bit of oil always seems to go far when it's not where it should be.

Was a small hairline crack, so I drained the oil then sanded it back cleaned it up and put some quick metal on it for a temp repair and its bone dry!
Will have to do until I get the time to sort it properly but will keep a close eye on it for sure
